Serenity Prayer

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.

Being all that we want to be

Being different 

It is amazing how you can affect other people without speaking a word. People who may carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, people who may have shut out love, trust and friendship.  

In essence everybody has there own set of problems but you and i choose to have them define us or not. We choose whether we rise above or fall below.   

Its only when we let go of the troubles that you start to shine.   

Its only when we are okay with being different, that we can be all that we can be. 

“Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!” 

Anne Frank
