Serenity

A friend sent me this awhile ago & I've been saving the e-mail because I liked it so much.

Serenity —
To walk when others are running;
To whisper when others are shouting;
To sleep when others are restless;
To smile when others are angry;
To pause when others are hurrying;
To pray when others are doubting ;
To think when others are in confusion;
To face turmoil yet have composure;
To have inner calm inspite of everything;
To sleep in the middle of a storm.
This is the test of serenity.
This is the Christ Life."
