God, Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change – You – The Courage to change the things I can – Me- And the Wisdom to know the difference. Amen
What beautiful words to live by. The world is filled with examples of individuals and groups whose energy and efforts are directed towards trying to change others to their way of thinking in belief that it is the “right” way. How well is that approach working out for us right now? Christ is known as a blessed “Wayshower” not a “Wayteller”. Show me the way and I may be inspired to follow. Tell me the way and I will likely resist. In my observation, energy directed towards improving self seems the better choice.
Barbara and Michael, thanks for some great angles to think about and apply!
