Sheri and Daughter number two ( the one who shields her heart with her sleeve), were moving some furniture around yesterday. The wooden cabinet that holds the hundreds of 33 records began to come apart before their very eyes. They wound up having to unload the records and reattach the back board with a drill and some screws. Part way through Bob picked up the drill and said "here, let me do it" which was followed by "Al" looking up at the both of them, asking "how does this work?" Daughter number 2 looked up at Sheri and the sadness overwhelmed both of them. The thought that a disease can take such basic knowledge, from a man that managed a hardware store seems incredibly unfair, and so hard to accept.
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.
