Totally agree Stephanie - great signature quotation Luana. It's one of my favourite quotations and something I try to remind myself of, when at work and getting very frustrated.
The original was a prayer written by Reinhold Niebuhr, a German thoelogian, around the time of the second World war.
This is the transcipt of the whole prayer/ quotation:
God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.
I also like the bit highlighted in blue. I need to learn to think that way to stop giving out so much!!
