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.

My deepest sympathy to the Humphries family, may the God of comfort bring you peace in this time of grief. And may you find comfort in these word. "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcray nor pain be anymore the former things have passed away.

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
