Serenity

With a rehab on my doorstep, one is sometimes reminded about positivity

 

Here's the full version of the serenity prayer, written by Reinhold Neibuhr (1892-1971) (the first verse being used in addiction treatment)

 

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;

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life

 

And supremely happy with Him

Forever and ever in the next.

Amen.

 

I know the top right bit of the barbed wire looks like Bugs Bunny, and the bottom bit looks like a symbol for giving one the finger ... I thought I'd leave them as they were ... because that's what life is like ;)
