Well it's that time. the eve of Christmas. I'd love to offer some insightful saying or meditative food for thought but I've got nothing really. But I did think of this prayer and can't believe I haven't posted it yet...... I don't know when it was written or who wrote it but it's lovely nonetheless.
So here it is.... Merry Christmas everyone.......
When I am called to duty God...
Wherever flames may rage...
Give me strength to save a life whatever be its age.
Let me embrace a little child...
Before it is too late...
Or save an older person from the horror of that fate.
Enable me to be alert...
And hear the weakened shout...
And quickly and efficiently...
Put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling...
To give the best in me...
To guard my friend and neighbor...
And protect their property.
And, if...according to Your will...
While on duty I must answer deaths call...
Bless with your protecting hand...
My family, one and all.

ReplyDeleteConsider myself a new fan of your blog. I haven't laughed like that in ages. It's been a really tough year.
Have a blast and watch out for those wielding hair dryers. ;)
