the wisdom to know the difference

I wasn't determined whether to go to SFCC until 11:30am. A lot of thoughts were going through my mind. I got so many things to do; maybe I should go back to work? maybe I should do some shopping? 

Fortunately I eventually decided to go. The minute I started singing with my friends, I know I have made the right decision.

We also witnessed the baptizing of Cathy, Tsuyu and Ted. They all gave very touching testimony of their path in accepting God. By listening to them, I got to resolve some of my own questions.

Finally Pastor Solomon's speech on "missing peace in life" was exactly what I have been experiencing.

During the service, I can feel the great burden that has been on my spirit the whole week were lifted from me Piece by piece. By the time I left SFCC, I was so relaxed and peaceful.

If there is any take-home message, I think it should be the following prayer that Tsuyu shared with us:

"
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.

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.
"
