One of the Best Prayers I Have Heard In A Long Time...

eavenly 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 ho me 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 g et 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 progress 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.

A Prayer can be said anytime and anyplace......And for anyone. She was
sharing that with us, for those who did not know it.
