Acceptance and change

The bible has this verse:
"God give me the strength to accept the things that I can't change."

God will take care of that all right. But what about the things that we CAN change but shouldn't....for the greater good....or maybe just for the joys of someone very dear to us?

Today in school I sat pondering over the question. And it occured to me that if you have people who really, really care about you, you won't ever need to change anything in your life. Those things that will change are destiny. Even when we feel that we have influenced an event, we have actually just played our part in the giant picture of 'destiny dearest'.

A very dear friend of mine once told me,"whatever happens happens for a reason."
Until today I never realised how right the statement is.
Whatever happens, happens for a reason.
 If it is good, be happy.
If it is bad then remind yourself that it had a 'very good reason' for happening.
And if it doesn't happen at all, then,
The bible has this verse:
"God give me the strength to accept the things that I can't change."

If you are a believer that is....

Here is a peak......... The valleys have been left behind.
