AlanHo Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 A PRAYER FOR ANDSOMELord, Thou knowest better than I know myself, that I am growing older and will someday be even more decrepit. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion. Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my unique good looks and vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all, but Thou knowest Lord that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my intolerance of our leaders. It is increasing, and the love of whinging about them is becoming sweeter as the years go by. I dare not ask for grace enough to enjoy the contradictions of others - but help me to endure them with patience. I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cocksureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken. Keep me reasonably sweet; I do not want to be a Saint - some of them are so hard to live with - but a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the Devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places, and talents in unexpected people. And, give me, 0 Lord, the grace to tell them so. Amen.
