Add a Little More
We recall the kind old grocer,
When the sugar he would pour,
How he'd tip the scales to balance,
Then he'd add a little more.
And his business, how it prospered,
Folks were always in his store,
For he gave an honest measure
And he'd add a little more.
So it is with life, my brother,
We would write a better score,
When we've done what is expected,
If we'd add a little more.

This is called giving 110%.

The Hebrew word for grace - chesed - means exactly this - fill to overflowing- I find this very interesting since our protestant view is often that grace is sufficient; sufficient to pay for my sin, but just barely. Gods grace is chesed!
