living one day at a time

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to end;

They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness."

Lamentations 3:22-23 Revised Standard Version

~~~

I love that Scripture. When I pondered on it again this morning, I immediately find myself humming the tune that we sing in church...and I find peace. The joy of the Lord is my strength.

In my daily commitment on the foodaddictsfulloffaith loop, I start each day with "It's a new day to rejoice and be glad. God's mercies are new every morning. The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything that I need. The joy of the Lord is my strength."

I walk into each day like it is the only day. I focus on balance and moderation and God's will, saying the Prayer of Jabez in my morning meditation: "God bless me indeed. Increase my boundaries and keep me from harm." This keeps it simple for me and my life is not only manageable, but rich and rewarding.
