......................................
1 cup of good thoughts
1 cup of kind deeds
1 cup of consideration for others
3 cups of forgiveness
2 cups of well beaten faults
Mix these thoroughly, add tears of joy and sorrow and sympathy for others.
Fold in 4 cups of prayer and faith to lighten other ingredients and raise the texture to great heights of Christian living.
After pouring all this into your daily life, bake well with the heart of human kindness.
Serve with a smile.
Author unknown, this was printed in a cookbook put out by the women of the United Church of Canada, in Grand Bank, Newfoundland; my hometown. I have had the cookbook for over 30 years so I'm not even sure where the prayer came from.
