serenity

i bought this bracelet at hand picked last week in charlotte, nc. well it's not this exact bracelet. the one pictured here is the Lord's prayer bracelet & i purchased the Serenity prayer bracelet that is the same exact shape, but different prayer & font. the shape of the bracelet curves around so that the prayer engraved, starts on one side & wraps around the the other, creating a continuous circle of words on both sides. it's a great daily reminder for me.

the Serenity prayer reads as follows --
God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change; courage to change the things i can; & 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 & supremely happy with Him forever in the next. amen.
