"And so great was the prosperity of the church, and so many the blessings which were poured out upon the people, that even the high priests and the teachers were themselves astonished beyond measure."
Prosperity's a funny thing; we pray for it unceasing.
But it is more than cold hard cash, in our hands increasing.
The wealth of smiles we garner from our kindly actions or
the affluence of laughter that comes out of our own door.
Friends in great abundance and increasing gratitude
are the riches we invest in if we are really shrewd.
The world is full of blessings that astonish me, if I
will only look with full intent on what is passing by.
God's bounty is accessible; his promise is secure.
The feast he spreads before me is unknown to epicure.
