Right now my family is experiencing a downpour of grief and sadness. Not only are we all dealing with the loss of my dad, we are now dealing with Kimberly’s diagnosis of cancer. YES, you read that right, Kim has been diagnosed with Stage 2 Uterine Cancer (will know more next week). We are meeting with the oncologist Monday at 4:30. I say we, I am going with her for support or at least to hold her hand. I am flooded with a range of emotions after her diagnosis, I cannot imagine what she is going through. I can only serve as an encourager and a support system.
With that being said…this comes to mind.
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; (EXTREMELY HARD TO DO, BUT TRYING)
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.
Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3: 5-6
