A Pilgrim's Prayer |
|
If some things do not happen as they are scheduled Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist! If I should get tired and inclined to become short tempered Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist! If my meal in a foreign country may not be to my particular liking, Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist! If any delays should occur and I should become anxious, Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist! If some other pilgrim is making noise so that I cannot hear the guide, Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist! When I ask that person to be a bit more quiet If someone takes a better seat or more choice place, Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist! If I find myself last in line or waiting, Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist! If the person in front of me buys the last item which I really wanted Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist! If I should get a chance to help another person, who always seems to be annoying me, Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist! If someone is always the "last one on the bus" and I am always on time, Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist! But Lord especially let me remember that what I find objectionable in another is really what you oft times find objectionable in me And let me remember this and forgive the other, As you are continually forgiving me! |
