A Thanksgiving Day Prayer
O God, when I have food,
help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work,
help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a home,
help me to remember those
who have no home at all;
When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer,
And remembering,
help me to destroy my complacency;
bestir my compassion,
and be concerned enough to help;
By word and deed,
those who cry out
for what we take for granted.
Amen.

As I read this, I am waiting for my out-of-work neighbor to get home. He called and asked to borrow money --- again. Sitting here I was feeling put upon for all he has borrowed --- and promised to pay back "soon." Then I read your words ...
Thank you.
