I found this a year or two ago and cannot remember from where...but here is hoping that you'll find a smile creeping across your face as you read it!
God, grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, which is pretty much everyone, since I’m clearly not You, God. At least not the last time I checked.
And while you’re at it, God, please give me the courage to change what I need to change about myself, which is frankly a lot, since, once again, I’m not you, which means I’m not perfect.
It’s better for me to focus on changing myself than to worry about changing other people, who, as you’ll no doubt remember me saying, I can’t change anyway.
Finally, give me the wisdom to just shut up whenever I think that I’m clearly smarter than everyone else in the room, that no one knows what they’re talking about except me, or that I alone have all the answers.
Basically, God, grant me the wisdom to remember that I’m not You. Amen.
I always close this blog the same way: If you have a pulse, you have a purpose. Make your life count!
