Serenity

Hey All!!! A very quick update... it's like I've been blogging nearly every day... hahahah... Anyways while i was at work today, i decided to clean out one of my portable drawers... you know the ones you buy off a supermarket and store all your little knic knacs it it. So i was properly disposing "confidential" small strips of paper away and i came a cross a paper with these sentences scribbled on them "Have the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed. The courage to change things that should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish one from another". I thought it was a very interesting quote and then decided to google it so i can find out more like who said it and all... and i found out that it was a prayer written a loooonggggg time ago. I decided to post the whole prayer up, just in case you want to read on how it ends =)

~ The Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr~


God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.


Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen


I'm going to sign off now... going to sleep... don't actually know what i'll do tomorrow... maybe i'll sleep ;) hahahah... bubyez!
