“He’s probably – oh he’s probably five weeks old now, maybe. Could be a couple of months before we turn him loose, and then off he’ll go, and he’ll have his own family. And hopefully he’ll stay around my backyard when I turn him loose and still visit with me, but if he doesn’t – I’ll know he’s happy, and he’s doing what squirrels do.” – Bob Ross, about ‘Peapod,’ a baby squirrel he nursed back to health
The Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change…
Courage to change the things I can,
And Wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship 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.
