“I have really enjoyed, learned from and look forward to reading Bettina Network’s Blog. My contribution to the blog – as a member of the Bettina Network Community (that’s a great idea and I love it – am I going to get a membership card?) – is the following poem. I keep it all over my house – on the refrigerator, in the bedroom, in my pocketbook, because I need this kind of reminder and inspiration a lot. I do often take my environment with all of its goodies for granted. Hope it helps someone else.”
A Thanksgiving Prayer – by Samuel F. Pugh
Oh, 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 warm home, help me to remember the homeless.
When I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer.
And remembering, help me to destroy my complacency and bestir my compassion.
Make me concerned enough to help, by word and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted.
I found this in a pamphlet put out by the Salesian Missions in New Rochelle, New York
