God's Piggy Bank
Posted: December 20, 2009
What the Salvation Army kettles represent…
That little red kettle is God's piggy bank
in which I contribute my spare change with thanks
for having warm clothes and a comfortable bed,
a pantry of food and a job.
That little red kettle provides God the means
to help those in crisis discover their dreams
are not vain illusions but seeds in their heart
that will (given time) start to grow.
That little red kettle invites me to share
in a way that puts feet on my promise to care
for those who are homeless or jobless or worse...
for those who are hopeless at best.
