B = Blessed
I am thankful for the countless blessings my God has given me. Those identified and those yet to be found. Like for example the folks I have found here and a place that creates an atmosphere of love and tollerance.
Thanks Carrie. |

M!!!!
Mothers!!! Interesting that I just saw and read this post today of all days.....I just got a call from the adoption disclosure agency about 1 1/2 hours ago. My birth mother would like to meet me!!!!!! I sent in my information over 3 years ago, and figured that if I havent heard from them by now, then I probably wouldn't. I'm a tad excited and would like to say thank you to all the mothers out there!! |

S= SERENITY
|
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;
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.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
