Giving God Our Leftovers

Some time back I preached a sermon about giving God just our "crumbs" or leftovers. So many of us get busy with life and forget to give God our best~ "If I have time, I'll go to church this week." Some reach in their pockets to give the Lord what's left over- This poem says it well:

"Leftovers"

Leftovers are such humble things,

We would not serve to a guest,

And yet we serve them to our Lord

Who deserves the very best.

We give to Him leftover time,

Stray minutes here and there.

Leftover cash we give to Him,

Such few coins as we can spare.

We give our youth unto the world,

To hatred, lust and strife;

Then in declining years

we give To him the remnant of our life.
