Sunday, July 16, 2017…..God grant me the serenity

I am grateful to have a roof over my head, even if the house is not fixed up the way I want it.   Saying the serenity prayer lots.

Going to church, always a good thing whether I am in a good mood or not, as feeling closer to God is always good.  Also, reading scriptures.

My pets.

My son, who disposed of a mouse that my cat caught outside.  It was still alive some how.  I think my cat was going to toy with it and then kill it eventually.

The nice day weather wise.  It is cooler but that is okay. ;)

A working computer to type this on.  My keyboard was acting up yesterday morning on this laptop and I was a bit worried.

A job to at my bills, even if there is one person I am not fond of at work.  I will have to pray for them.

That I realize there are always people who have it worse than me and that on most days, I am very grateful to be upright, breathing, walking and talking.  That getting older is not a bad thing as some people are not lucky enough to do that. ;)

  1. I expend a lot of energy dealing with a unpleasant person at Church. Another friend and I have decide not to react as it seems to fuel the fire.
    Thought Skeeter didn’t go out? But I am glad the mouse was disposed of. It’s in there nature to toy with their food.
