My thought today is the serenity prayer. The short form is: "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." Like most prayers, it contains a request. I ask God to help me accept things that are out of my control, for courage to change things that are in my control, and to be able to tell the difference between the two. When reciting the first line, Nancy and I often point at each other to indicate that we cannot change each other and when we say the second line we point at ourselves because we can change ourselves. It is a good reminder.
