The Chocolate Serenity Prayer

Valhead

I got this in my email today and thought it was great. Hope you all enjoy it!

THE CHOCOLATE SERENITY PRAYER

God, grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
(Chocolate will not help me feel better, but You can)

Courage to change the things I can
(Chocolate is a THING. Things don't/can't have emotion or tell me what
to do!)

And wisdom to know the difference.
(People have the ability to comfort other people. Chocolate does not
have that ability)

Living one day at a time,
(I can be chocolate-free today)

Enjoying one moment at a time,
(it feels GOOD to be in control of what goes in my mouth!)

Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace
(Dealing with my issues isn't easy, but I can do all things
through Him who strengthens me)

Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it
(I am fairly sure Jesus survived without chocolate when He walked on
the earth; so can I)

Trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will
(I know You watch over me and will make Your paths known. Those paths
are not covered in chocolate!)

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
(and I can do that WITHOUT chocolate!)

And supremely happy with you forever in the next.
(Tell me God…is there chocolate in heaven?)

Speaking of chocolate........ I bought some Ethel M's for my honey for Valentines day. It is a boxful of devil I"m sure of it. It cots A LOT of money, and it's worth every penny! OMG, I ate one as a treat one day. I can't even believe how magnificent that stuff is.....
