Loud and Clear

I believe Inspiration Speaks Loud and Clear

There is no way to run from a hardship. It is what it is...nothing more. Either live life being angry and unhappy with a hardship or live life being happy and optimistic with a hardship. You cannot go back and change the struggles and hardships you may be facing...it's not our job. - From ME to you ♥

LOSE ONE.

Lord help me live from day to day, In such a humble sort of way,  To give a smile, help lift a load, For those I meet along life's road, And when I come to my journey's end, My life I have not lived in vain, If one dear friend can smile and say,

         "I'm glad I met her on life's way.  - Author Unknown

The Serenity Prayer

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)

                  ==============================================
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.  Proverbs 3, 5-6
