God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed (lava, unsolved murders about which we have no information and no way of gaining information, vog, tsunamis, etc)
Courage to change the things which should be changed (dirt roads, jobs, civility in our interactions with others, etc)
and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
(BBM) Wise words, HOTPE. My Papa gave this to me long, long ago, and I carry it with me always (in my wallet). The words vary a tad, however, the message remains the same:
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.
May we all have the patience, wisdom, kindness, and aloha (in the true sense) as we enter the new year.
Ke Akua Pu. (God be with us all.) Especially in these trying times.
