Best Prayer I Have Heard In A Long
Time... Really makes you stop and think! Not really
funny...but wanted to share it!
Heavenly
Father, Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in
traffic
last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is
rushing
home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a
few
precious moments with her children.
Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young
man who
can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college
student,
balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not
getting his
student loans for next semester.
Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in
the same
spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to
addictions
that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.
Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow
through the
store aisles and blocking our shopping p rogress are savoring this
moment,
knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week,
this will
be the last year that they go shopping together .
Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give
us, the
greatest gift is love . It is not enough to share that love with
those we
hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us,
but to all
humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show
patience,
empathy and love.
Working for God on earth doesn't pay much .....but His
retirement plan is
out of this world !
