to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

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.”

Would she work out some fantasy to explain where the snow went and why the sun rose in the morning?”
