Remind Us

 

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. Let us

show patience, empathy and love.

It was extremely inspiring to read the 'Remind Us' prayer. Thank you

very much for sharing it with us just as you share other inspiring

stories.

 

With SAI love,
