Modesty

You don't know who you meet on the street? Or
Who comes to your house? Do not be fooled by appearances
God appears in our lives as we do not think
This is the story of two women, one humble and the other
Ambitious encore
The humble one day raised a prayer to God and said
God help me to have what I need, and I invite you
To eat at my house, the woman began to have what she needed
She prepared a turkey and baked it, it was to eat with God
A beggar knocked at her door and asked her for food, she said I have
Food for someone special, but that's ok I'll give you a piece
You are also special, she gave him her and the beggar left happy
They knock on the door for the second time, another beggar was her and she told him
Give me food, she said I have food for someone special
But it's okay I'll give you a piece You're special too
She gave him a piece and the beggar left happy, they knock on the door the third
Once it was another beggar, and she told him give me food, she said I have
Food for someone special, but that's ok I'll give you a piece
You are also special, she gave him a piece of her and left happy
The woman did not have to give to God, and she talked to God, and she told her God did not
You came to eat, God told him, three times I was in your house, and the three
Sometimes you fed me, her neighbor saw her progress and she dared
To ask her, she told her the story and her neighbor ran to do the same
What he did not know how God presented himself to the neighbor, and the first beggar arrived
She took him out running, the second came, she kicked him out, the third came
And she washed him out with hot water, angry God told her why you don't come to eat
God told him three times I have been to your house and all three times you ran me away
God and his angels appear to us but not as we normally think
Elegant and well dressed, because what God likes is humility
That's why never despise anyone for their appearance, you never know
When can one meet God
You don't know who you meet on the street? Or
Who comes to your house? Do not be fooled by appearances
God appears in our lives as we do not think
This is the story of two women, one humble and the other
Ambitious encore
