Serenity Prayer

praise
Let me first start by saying that I am so happy to be back online blogging again!  I can’t believe it has been almost seven months since my last entry.  Wow!  I guess things got a little chaotic there for a while.  Well, that’s life for ya!  Just when you think you have every thing under control, life just sort of happens & you gotta just roll with the punches.

So let’s see…what I have I been up to the past several months that kept me from one of my favorite past times.   Hmmmm…Well for starters the holidays rolled in and that’s always a great way to get off track.  Then there was the move to San Jose, followed by my many adventures with online dating & my recent unexpected traffic accident (not any fault of my own & no one was injured.  Thank Goodness!).  So there you have it, I’ve been a little busy these days, but I’m back and can’t wait to dive right back into the blogosphere again.  Hooray!!!

Well, since today happens to be a Worry-Free Wednesday, I thought I would put the past 7 blog-less months behind me & not worry about the fact that I fell of the face of the earth so to speak.  Instead, I thought I would share with all of you a great little worry-free prayer that is so simple and has always provided me with a real sense of comfort during all of life’s ups & downs.  It helps me keep things in perspective &  provides me with a sense of peace after slowly reciting it to myself.  Here it goes.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

I hope that this prayer proves to be a comfort to you all as much as it has been for me over the past few years.
