Pretty Cool Prayer (WARNING GOD IS MENTIONED)

Spammy · Post by **Spammy** » Wed Nov 23, 2005 11:30 am

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 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.

Working for God on earth doesn't pay much......but His retirement plan is
out of this world !

"Even though I'm a non-believer and think the entire notion of some old man with a beard in the sky is silly because the Bible tells me that I can't be sexually promiscuous, this is pretty cool anyway, and I respect your beliefs although I will again remind you I don't believe in this because it's crazy nonsense adhered to by weak-willed people, but congrats!"

Narcissus, the fictional Greek hero after whom narcissism is named, became obsessed with his own reflection
