Prayer Of Serenity

Budge and I have seen this a thousand times, but recently found something that showed the full prayer...... this is it.....

God grant me the serenity,
to accept the thngs I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
(and this is the part we've never seen before)
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
taking, as Jesus did,
this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;
trusting that You will make all things right
if I surrender to your will;
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life
ad supremely happy with you forever in the next.
