-God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And the 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.
-Blessings, Sugar
