Places of honour
are kept for the
distinguished;
take the humble
chair.
Maybe you'll be
asked
to come to a higher
seat;
but then, maybe not.
Better to be known
for grace and
humility,
and to be content.
Hospitality
when you expect a
return
does not count for
much.
When giving banquets
invite the poor, the
needy;
they can't return
it.
Generosity
when it cannot be
repaid
is tested and true.
Jesus lived it well;
his life, generous
with love
and humility.
