Friendship.

Number 12
in The Daily challenge from #reverb10,

Prompt: Friendship.

How has a friend changed you
or your perspective
on the world this year?
Was this change gradual,
or a sudden burst?







The philosopher says, every day is a change, instigated by God or self.
The changes introduced by family and friends or the total stranger,
are just God messages in disguise.

Being happy every day does not mean that you do not see the changes,
that you are ignoring the changes or that you are refusing to change,
what it means is that you understand God's world is synonymous with change
and you are willing to accept God's world as He wants it to be,
not as you want it to be and you have found  the pathway to happy, joyous
and free.
Free is to be free from guilt and shame for having chosen to do the wrong thing.
If you think you have chosen to do the next right thing and it turns
out to be wrong, do not feel shameful or guilty, just have faith,
God has already forgiven you.

AHA, just hang in there, God will give you the message over and over,
until it finally sinks in that you need to change.

If three people tell you the same thing,
you may have already missed the opportunity twice.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. (Other people)

The courage to change the things I can. (Me and my attitude)

And the wisdom to know the difference.

Smart people learn from their own mistakes,
Wise people learn from the mistakes of others.

Short version of the Prayer for Serenity, Reinhold Niebuhr

To have a friend, be a friend.

Hugs and Love,
