Be Not Vexed--Again!

     Just in God's perfect timing, I was led to see what blog was first written years ago.  "Be Not Vexed." was submitted in January, 2015, on the Catholic365.com sight. 
  
     Here we are, 9 years later, 322 blogs, and God set up my life to grant me more insight and wisdom about this world today!! It started with a need to deal with car insurance claim, and health insurance questions about benefits.  Two hours later, first, dealing with those auto mated phone calls; and then, after being asked many times to give birth date, the numbers of reports, membership numbers, address and phone number JUST TO VERIFY--I existed--frustration had me very VEXED!! 
  All the time, I was trying my best to redirect my thoughts and feelings to the Serenity Prayer lying before me.  
     Lord, grant us the grace to accept the things which we cannot change!  Oh, so important as these days become more and more VEXING and frightening!!  Today, we definitley cannot change our goverment's regulating rules and all the many numbers to prove we even exist!
   Two days ago, a light bulb moment, had me realizing that the 666 number was already among us.  For many years in fact.  "It is a number of a man."  
   Beloved, if we want to buy and sell, or have any  ability to do anything in this world--we are already NUMBERED!!   Social Security,  Medicaire or Medicaid, Drivers license, credit cards, addresses, phone numbers and so on. The Beast is among us--has been since He fell from grace! (Let us watch out for a law that states--a chip must be implanted!!)  
       As these days become more and more controlled by technolgy or artificial interllgence--ie--the Beast controlling our lives---we must choose to be not vexed, and stay serene.   We must believe that God is in control all of our lives and the whole world, the climate in His hands and the outcome as He has planned from all of creation. 

      Let us start everyday, in His peace, knowing that God is with us, and we are in His Hands!  Let us choose to change what we can change.    Our attitudes, our reactions, and our efforts to be at peace, staying always in the I Am's Presence.   Peace be with us always.  Our choice, so choose by the grace of God to live in His Wisdom, His love and faith and trust in His Ways; dear beloved of God.

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 hardships 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.
