God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. – Reinhold Niebur
Staying here and gazing at that serene river gives me a feeling of peace. No matter how hard life is, there is always something to look forward to. Life in all its ugly realities, is a learning curve that teaches us the meaning of joys, happiness and tears. God always gives us a vista of things that we somehow overlook – a sunrise to greet our mornings, a stunning sunset to calm us after a days’ work, clouds that seem to float like cotton candies in a bright blue sky, green mountains as far as your eyes could see. What more could you ask for?
Lord, thank You for this lovely morning. Thank You for Today. Thank You for Life.
Looking at water always helps to settle the troubled mind. There is a natural connection to water that we cannot deny.
Best wishes, Pete.
