Thought of the day!

I believe that everything in life happens for a reason...we might not be able to see it at the time but there is a reason for every event. I love the serenity prayer for this reason:

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.

Remember when you are going through a difficult time...pray for strength to get through so that years later you can look back and thank the Lord for what He taught you through those times. And then remember to thank the Lord for caring you through those times as well!
