The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, the wisdom to know the difference.

Now, onto the Sayings that someone has said at one time or another:
1) Faith in God sees the invisible, believes the incredible, and receives the impossible.
2) Walking by faith means putting one foot in front of the other – with both eyes on God.
3) You are unique. There is not a duplicate of you in the whole wide world; there never has been and there never will be. Take time to think of how special you are.
4) We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.
5) It may be more important to at least one person with whom we can share open and honest thoughts and feelings with than it is to have a whole network of more superficial relationships.

6) A hug is the perfect gift – one size fits all and nobody minds if you return it.
7) Friendship is like a bank account – you can’t keep drawing on it unless you make some deposits.
8) No person is ever honored for what he received. Honor is the reward for what he gave.
9) Today is a gift…that’s why it’s called “the present”.
10) Happy are they who look for the good in all people, for they shall find it.

11) Listen to your feelings. They tell you when you need to take care of yourself – finding a friend when you are lonely, crying if you feel sad, and singing and smiling if you feel happy.
12) Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.
13) Friends are the family we choose with our hearts.
14) And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
15) Whenever I give my love away, there is always more room in my heart for joy.

16) Peace of mind is not the absence of conflict from life, but the ability to cope with it.
17) Use what talents you posses – the woods would be very silent if no birds sang their song except those that sang best.
18) A broken heart still beats.
19) Build bridges instead of walls and you will never be lonely.
20) The only difference between stumbling blocks and stepping-stones is the way you use them.
(Back

21) The best things in life…are not things.
22) Some say it’s holding on that makes you strong…sometimes it’s letting go.
23) We are not put on this earth to see through one another, but to see one another through.
24) It is the friends you can call up at 4:00 a.m. that matter.
25) A smile is the light on your face that lets someone know you are home.

26) Seven days without laughter makes one weak.
27) Some people slip in and out of our lives quickly; others stay a while, then leave: but a few settle deep into our hearts and find a lasting home.
28) Don’t be discouraged – it’s often the last key in the bunch that opens the door.
29) Kind words are never wasted.
30) Children FEEL life. They smell it, roll in it, run with it, see it all around them. Feel the world through the eyes of a child.
