Different kind of Prayer

Sedikit lbh gak biasa seh, tp lbh practical and factual he..he...
jd next time kita ketemu org yang nyebelin bgt, cruel or untolerant, remember that maybe he face more difficulty, problems, struggles more than average people but less love.
So all we have to do is pray for them, and kalo gak mo terpancing ikut kesel jua ya EGP aja, hindarin boo...

A DIFFERENT KIND OF PRAYER

Author Unknown

 

Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in

traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day

and was rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the

laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.

 

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young

man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college

student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of

not getting his student loans for next semester.

 

Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the

same spot every day (who really ought to get a job)! is a slave to

addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.

 

Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow

through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are

savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got

back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping

together.

 

Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give

us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love

with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not just to those who are

close to us but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judgment and quick

to forgiveness and patience and empathy and love.

 

AMEN

memang org2 suka nyebelin, tp ada 1 kuncinya, don't take it personal, biasanya kita tuh cm sekedar pelampiasan pdhl org tsb bukan bermaksud marah or annoying kita. Maybe they had another problem..

Rose Siregar said...

seharusnya orang yang nyebelin itu juga mikir sama seperti yang diatas, dia juga kan gak tahu kalau kita (mungkin) juga lagi ada masalah yang kalau disenggol dikit langsung meledak (bom kaleee).

Kalau semua orang mikir seperti itu, aman kali ya dunia hehehehehe
