-the absence of mental stress or anxiety; peace of mind; peacefulness; calm.
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.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
This is not a photo that I took... but it's a photo my wonderful friend, Amy Gendrou (Amy Gendrou Photography), took of our family this summer.
This is my serenity even in the chaos of life.
Life is difficult sometimes. Challenges and decisions push you and make you question how strong you really are and how much can you really handle. But then you realize, God only gives you what you can handle. So that realization, in turn, helps you see that you can handle all the challenges being thrown at you.
It's in His hands.
