That’s exactly what just happened in my life just now (6:30 a.m.)
I’d gotten a text from my daughter late yesterday, one that started with, “I need to vent.” I’m her sounding board, and I’m grateful for that.🙏🏽The text went on to describe succinctly the latest BS involving her ex. I’m grateful she can bundle it all up in a couple of sentences.🙏🏽
This morning I realized I hadn’t replied to her message, so I sent the following: “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.”
To my surprise, my daughter replied, “I was actually saying that yesterday.”🙏🏽
I realized immediately that this was an answer to my prayers, and I thanked God wholeheartedly. 🙏🏽I also remembered a dear friend who’d recommended a certain book of prayers for adult children that I’ve been praying daily and thanked God for her. 🙏🏽
And the day’s just starting! Actually, it’s a travel one for us, where we’ll drive 250 miles to the Lower Rio Grande Valley to spend a couple of days with friends from Ohio. We were at the same RV resort five years ago and became walking buddies. We haven’t seen them for a couple of years because of covid, so I’m excitedly anticipating the reunion. I feel very fortunate and am so grateful to be an RVer…because of that, I have met so many beautiful souls from all over along this sojourn that I wouldn’t have met otherwise.🙏🏽
Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. ~Psalm 37:4
