Serenity

Welcome welcome 2015 

                     Our Family 

                       Hana, Hawaii

We enjoyed a glorious New Year celebrating with our 29 family members. I have felt such joy and am so blessed. 

Today is my father's 86th birthday. He is an example of wisdom, kindness, humility and faith - the grand patriarch of our family. He has truly sanctified himself and is Christlike in every way. This year I want to become more like him. Serenity and sanctification are my New Year quests. 

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.
