The Serenity Prayer

This prayer, often repeated, is an originally untitled prayer by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It makes great sense to me, and whether you believe in God or not, I think it's a smart idea.

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

A Good Week

Never give up; you never know until you try.

I had a chance to substitute in a class last week and had a great time.  I didn't do brain surgery, and I didn't find a cure for cancer.  I didn't wave a magic wand over anyone's life and fix all her problems, including mine.  Last week I  listened to and encouraged some people, and I had someone listen to and encourage me.  It was a good week.

I'm not subbing this week, but I still plan to listen to and encourage someone.  That will make this week good, too.

    You're substituting now? What was the class? What a blessing the encouragement went both ways.
