Michael B. and the Pool

Life is so interesting. At one point life can be so tiresome, sad and lonely; at another it can be so exciting, funny, and fellowship oriented.

I was at the pool today, jamming to my ipod when I heard the giggles of a small child. There was a mother and a little girl dancing in the pool. The girl was just enthralled by the idea of dancing in the pool. The look on the mothers face expressed extreme delight. At this point I had to take the earphones out of my ears and watch the incredible view.

Such delight and innocence. Such beauty in something so incredibly small.

Are you finding delight in the small things today?

Beautiful Prayer

I love this prayer....

The Serenity 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.
