Money

Grateful

That's not fair!

I want....

I Want...

I WANT...

Are words

I sometimes think or say.

But when I stop awhile

Or take the time to pray,

I know that's not the case at all.

It might be tough,

It might be hard

But it's really not unfair.

And want and need are not the same;

There are so many things I have.

So, thank you God for what I have

And all the things I do.

Help me to share, to give, to love,

And always say “thanks” to you.

Money

Pennies,

Pounds,

And bank accounts.

Credit cards,

Debit cards,

Sizeable amounts.

Money in,

Money out,

So many things to buy.

Eating things,

Wearing things,

So many things to try.

Thank you, God for the wealth we have.

Help us to be sensible and caring as we spend and save.

Need and greed

In our world there are those in need.

Jesus, help us to care for them.

In our world there is so much greed.

Jesus, help us to change our world.

Temptation

My friends have things

That I don’t have

And they don’t really need.

I have things

My friends don’t have

And I don’t really need.

We all have things

So many things

That we don’t really need.

Help us to share

And not show greed

And only want the things we need.

Thank you

I’m fed each day

And have clothes to wear,

Thank you for the life I live

And all the things I have.

I learn new things

And am loved so much

Thank you for the life I live

And all the things I have.

I have trips out

And holidays.

Thank you for the life I live

And all the things I have.

We pray

We pray for those who have no job

With bills to pay

And mouths to feed

Thank you that you care for them, help us to care for them too.
