Today’s Reflection: God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other. Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time, Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, Not as I would have it, Trusting that You will make all things right, If I surrender to Your will, So that I may be reasonably happy in this life, And supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.— Serenity Prayer (full version). Morning Offering is a daily post by Joe Barkovich, who lives in his hometown of Welland, Ontario, Canada’s Rose City. Daily photo by Joe Barkovich.

Today’s Reflection: Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive! I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart for others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.— Prayer of the Dalai Lama.  Morning Offering is a daily post by Joe Barkovich, who lives in his hometown of Welland, Ontario, Canada’s Rose City.
