"Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life . . ." - Jesus (John 6:27a)
Dear Friends in Christ -
It's a whirlwind day for me today. Happy busyness at home (my adorable young son's birthday - he's 6!). Lots of work at the church (including assisting a couple of people with serious emergencies). Errands that need to be run to keep up with our volunteer and community commitments.
When everything on my list involves working "for the food that endures" how do I find the place to touch down? Just a simple 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.
Faithfully,
Janet+
