BEST PRAYER I HAVE HEARD IN A LONG TIME

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 Lord,

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.
