Cool Poem/Prayer

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know if there is some kind of a rule about sharing anything religious and if so, please feel to delete this post...I was at church last night and there were some women sharing about working with people in a cross-cultural context. They shared this "prayer" (more of a poem) with us, and it struck me that it really applies to many of us as parents of kids with AS.

Walk With us in Our Search

Help us discover our own riches;
don't judge us poor because we lack what you have.
Help us discover our chains;
don't judge us slaves by the type of shackles you wear.
Be patient with us as people;
don't judge us backward simply because we don't follow your stride.
Be patient with our pace;
Don't judge us lazy simply because we can't follow your tempo.
Be patient with our symbols;
don't judge us ignorant because we can't read your signs.
Be with us and proclaim the richness of your life which you can share with us.
Be with us and be open to what we can give.
Be with us as a companion who walks with us--neither behind or in front--
In our search for life and ultimately for God.

I think the message is cool no matter what your religious bent.

No rule against sharing anyting religious. But, also, no rules against someone posting that they find the sentiments to be fantasy or mushy or .... you get the point

I liked it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, DW. I won't mind if anyone posts what they think, even if it's not complimentary. I quite enjoy hearing the truth, as all different kinds of people see it.
