courage and serenity

I know a lot of people who are big time worriers about every little thing.  Sometimes it's to the point where they can't enjoy the present because they're "borrowing trouble" as Yaya would say.  I became very involved with 12 step programs in the 80s and immediately memorized the Serenity prayer, short version.  12 step programs are a spiritual discipline that are based on gratitude, acceptance and forgiveness.  If you can't change it, accept.  If you can?  Have the courage to do it.  If we live life one day...hell one MOMENT at a time, we get to enjoy the small stuff which is what life is all about.  

The Lenten season is one of deep self reflection because Jesus spent so much time in the desert being temitpted by the devil.  " Looka' here boy...this can all be yours!'  "You hungry dude?"  Over and over the temptations were thrown out to a weary believer in one true God.  Yet he resisted and used all of those temptations to perform miracles during his ministry.  

It came a couple of monsoons today but we are in a no rain period at the moment.  Praise be ^j^
