“I have really enjoyed, learned from and look forward to reading Bettina Network’s Blog. \u00a0My 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. \u00a0I 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. \u00a0I do often take my environment with all of its goodies for granted. \u00a0Hope it helps someone else.”<\/p>\n

 Oh, God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry<\/em><\/pre>\n
 When I have work, help me to remember the jobless.<\/em><\/pre>\n
 When I have a warm home, help me to remember the homeless.<\/em><\/pre>\n
 When I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer.<\/em><\/pre>\n
 And remembering, help me to destroy my complacency and bestir my compassion.<\/em><\/pre>\n
 Make me concerned enough to help, by word and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted.<\/em><\/pre>\n
I found this in a pamphlet put out by the Salesian Missions in New Rochelle, New York<\/p>\n
