Snaffled and yoinked from DramaQueen

Lifes prayer…

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 is 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, 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.

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 to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.

And this one was snarfed from Si-1977

A girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph down the road on a motorcycle.This is the conversation they had…

Girl: Slow down. I`m scared!
Guy: No this is fun!
Girl: No it`s not. Please, we`re going too fast!
Guy: Then tell me you love me and I will slow down.
Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down!
Guy: Now give me a BIG hug.
*Girl hugs him*
Guy: Can you take my helmet off and put it on? Its bugging me.

In the paper the next day: A motorcycle had crashed into a building
because of break failure. Two ppl were in the accident, but only one survived.
The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his breaks
went out, but he didn`t want to let the girl know. Instead, he had her say
she loved him and felt her hug one last time, then had her wear his helmet
so that she would live even though it meant that he would die. “Love is
notselfish so Love is not being happy it is to make happy to whom you love
even if you are unhappy with it.”
