    The Serenity Prayer

    GOD, grant me the serenity

    to accept the things
    I cannot change,
    Courage to change the

    things I can, and the
    wisdom to know the difference.
    Living one day at a time;

    Enjoying one moment at a time;
    Accepting hardship 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

    I chaired an AlAnon mtg 2 wks ago and this was my subject. Since we only say the first few lines, I thought it was important to read and discuss the rest of it. We had AA people there from a rehab, it brought tears to their eyes. All 12 steps of AA can be found in this prayer. Afterwards it had taken on a different meaning for all of us... Thank you for posting. I actually have it hanging on my computer.

    I have the short version of the Payer on a keychain

    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
    God grant me the courage to change the things I can
    God grant me the wisdom to know the difference.
    Amen

    I shop at East Meets West, they are online. I shop at the Ocean County store, and have been to the Monmouth County store as well. :)

    Happy Ash Wednesday. t
