Serenity

The Serenity Prayer
===================
God, grant me the serenity to
Accept the things I cannot change,
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 and 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.

by Amen Pastor Friedrich Christopher 1782

Beautiful photograph! I love the composition... and the lighting is pretty :)

"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith
