Bev & Bill Bishop PEI House Reno

I was going through some old files and papers recently and came across this article which I believe appeared in "Century Home Magazine" (later Canadian Home & Country Magazine) sometime around 2001. The story tells about a renovation by Bev and Bill Bishop of Bedeque.

HERITAGE PRAYER

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.

We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.

Amen
