Another Thanksgiving 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."
