(G)od blesses my days and looks over me at night.
(O)nly asking for my faith in Him.
(D)oing His will in my Life.
(G)athering Him to me as I trudge this life's road.
(R)olling with the punches and working through them.
(A)lways grateful that He is with me and I with Him.
(N)ever doubting His plan.
(T)rying to show by deed rather than word.
(M)aking the best always of what I am given each day.
(E)njoying every minute I am sober.
(T)aking time to help others less fortunate than I.
(H)olding out a hand to one who has fallen on hard times.
(E)xpecting nothing in return.
(S)erene at last with my place in this life and the direction it is going.
(E)xcited to meet the day and not dreading any consequences.
(R)eady to hurdle anything that is placed in front of me.
(E)ntirely willing to move forward without hesitation through strife.
(N)oticing mistakes when I make them and learning from it.
(I)nstead of burying my head in the sand and bemoaning my fate.
(T)hankful for one more day that I am in concious contact with my God.
(Y)esterday is history, Tomorrow the future, I live for Today.

Such a deserving gold! This is just lovely and doesn't have the awkwardness some acrostics fall prey to. You seem to have a good heart and a poet's soul.

This is amazing. To be able to write this way (acrostic) and then put such a powerful message into it as well....just amazing. Well done.

this sounds like a great program !
especially if you are really putting all this wisdom into deed (sounds hard, but is possible
) ...
I love the ending, it reminds me of : "the past is history, the future a mystery, and the now is a gift - that's why we call it present"

This is a fantastic acrostic. Nothing comes across forced and you've really got a firm grasp as to what serentity is. Excellent work. My favorite lines are the SERENITY lines. We cannot change the event of our past, we must continue to move forward and strive to make our mark on the future.

This is a beautiful acrostic and obviously a very personal one. 'Live for today' you can't change the past and tomorrow is yet to come.
Thank you for sharing..Sue
