If some things do not happen as they are scheduled,
Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If I should get tired and inclined to become short tempered
Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If my meal in a foreign country may not be to my particular liking,
Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If any delays should occur and I should become anxious,
Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If some other pilgrim is making noise so that I cannot hear the guide,
Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
When I ask that person to be a bit more quiet If someone takes a better seat or more choice place,
Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If I find myself last in line or waiting, Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If the person in front of me buys the last item which I really wanted
Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If I should get a chance to help another person, who always seems to be annoying me,
Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
If someone is always the "last one on the bus" and I am always on time,
Lord may I remember that I am a pilgrim not a Tourist!
But Lord especially let me remember that what I find objectionable in another is really what you oft times find objectionable in me
And let me remember this and forgive the other,
As you are continually forgiving me!
Amen
