DECEMBER 31 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Hope is 'balance brought forward'"

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; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking this world-full-of-wrongs as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that my Higher Power will make all things right if I surrender my willfulness to a Divine Will.Do I strive above all for those qualities - serenity, courage, and wisdom - that form the cornerstones of my new life?Today I Pray … May I look back at this past year as a good one, in that nothing I did or said was wasted. No experience - however insignificant it may have seemed - was worthless. Hurt gave me the capacity to feel happiness; bad times made me appreciate the good ones; what I regarded as my weaknesses became my greatest strengths. I thank God for a year of growing.Today I Will Remember … Hope is my "balance brought forward" - into a new year's ledger.A Day at a Time https://amzn.to/3EOjuiHG.A.
