The Greatest Blessing

Yesterday, I cried,
  'If you have not need of me, please take me home!
  I see no reason for existence except to gift to life.
  Please!  Don't leave me here without purpose!'

For, much as I fear my imminent financial collapse,
  I fear most that I offer nothing of value to Spirit.
  The possibility is unthinkable, preposterous to
  one who dedicated her all to gift back to life.

Through my tears, I felt Spirit's whisper in my heart.
  'Look. Today, you have an opportunity to give.'
  I remembered the meeting with a food bank.
  So, wiping my tears, I started to prepare.

Later, I left the meeting profoundly aware that
  Spirit has entrusted me with a precious task.
  I get to be part of the answer to hunger!
  I get to give back to life with my life!

There is no greater blessing.
