	This month our featured poem is "The Serenity Prayer". It is a common, well known, and often recited verse full of wise words. May the spiritual truth of it's message remind us that although change is inevitable, God's love for us is constant, and through surrender we may find more happiness than we ever dreamed possible.


	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.
