So those of you who know me the best know I am not a religious person. I was raised Catholic but other than weddings or funerals I have not set foot in a church probably since my Confirmation. But now I have actually been going to Sunday morning masses at a local church (New England Chapel) with my friend. It is about the least, most non-churchy church there is, and is non-denominational. It has a live band so the one hour service basically consists of a prayer, a LOT of music, and then a fairly short "lesson" from the pastor. My friend invited me after Hope passed and I took her up on the offer; and have been going together for the last few weeks.
Anyways, I wanted to share the Serenity prayer and hope it sticks with me and gives me some strength for Hurley...
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.
