To accept the things I cannot change. I have always had trouble with that part. It is still a struggle for me but I am working on it! So many things in our life cannot be changed, and must be accepted. You can make your own list. Mine includes:
the unfortunate choices of family members
the hurts brought upon those I love
bad political figures governing our cities, states and nation
aging
prices
taxes
death
mistakes I've made
weather
Courage to change the things I can.
The good news is there is a lot I can change, including, but not limited to:
my attitude
my words
the way I use my time
my choices
- to heal or to harm
- to be pleasant or crabby
- to treat others kindly, harshly, or with indifference
- to set a good example for my children and others, or to regret the example I set
- to reflect the fruit of the spirit in my life or live selfishly
- my generosity or greed
- etc.
The wisdom to know the difference.
This is all God. I don't have much wisdom myself, that hasn't already come from Him. I just need to keep learning and listening to what He tells me to do.
