Thinking Out Loud: 4th of July

We had a great 4th of July at Mike's grandmother's farm in Groom. Most of the Conrad family was there, so I spent the majority of my evening asking my sisters-in-law who everyone was! It is amazing how much the little ones in the family change from year to year! Here is a picture of Caden and his sparkler.

The Serenity Prayer
God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

"I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them."
Isaiah 42:16

When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things will happen: Either you will be given something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.
-Edward Teller

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful."

Forgiveness
If I cannot forgive myself
For all the blunders
That I have made
Over the years,
Then how can I proceed?
How can I ever
Dream perfection-dreams?
Move, I must, forward.
Fly, I must, upward.
Dive, I must, inward,
To be once more
What I truly am
And shall forever remain.
-Sri Chinmoy
