Welcome welcome 2015
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.
