P.E.I. Heritage Buildings: Ebenezer

Ebenezer

I photographed this little Island-ell style farmhouse in the late 1980s. It has some nice details. The little pink house was demolished in the 1990s.

I prepared drawings for this house in the mid 1990's. Here they are below.

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
