Serenity Prayer

[banjo Jon]

Half a year ago I turned 63 and in my old age I have aches and pains.
It's hard for me to get up and get going. For instance to get up and
use the restroom or to burn the trash. Here is where I use the Serenity
Prayer. I tell myself I don't have to do anything but stand up and out
of my recliner. After that I tell myself all I have to do is grab the
two bags of trash and go out the door. Finally I tell myself I don't
have to do anything but carry the trash down to the burn pile and set it
on fire. Then my task is achieved and I'm done. That's how I use the
Serenity Prayer and stay out of trouble. It doesn't take away my aches
and pains but it gives ma a go around it. So THANK YOU JESUS.

Great to hear that, Jon. I find it also works for me when political
issues are disturbing my serenity.
