~~SPIRITUAL~~ A DAY AT A TIME

12/31 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY

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 His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.  Amen.

TODAY I PRAY
May I look back at this past year as a good one, in that nothing I did or said was wasted.  No experience -- however insignificant it may have seemed -- was worthless.  Hurt gave me the capacity to feel happiness; bad times made me appreciate the good ones; what I regarded as my weaknesses became my greatest strengths.  I thank God for a year of growing.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Hope is my "balance brought forward" -- into a new year's ledger.
