It's Saturday Centus again - in a nutshell, Jenny Matlock gives us a prompt from either herself or a guest submitter and then we have to write 100 or words less related to the prompt (the prompt doesn't count toward the 100 words) Then link it up to her blog. It's open until the following Saturday, so that means you have all week to participate by either reading or writing. http://jennymatlock.blogspot.com/search/label/Saturday%20Centus
While I'm waiting for my brother and sil to come, I figured I'd post my Centus.
The prompt is in bold.
Mary sat quietly praying for some sort of answers.
The white-bearded fat man rolled through the church doors. Mary started to get up to help but he quickly got up.
She watched as he went up to the crèche and prayed.
When he left, she went up to the crèche and noticed a note. She picked it up and it read “Jesus, it’s been a tough year for my family” and then the Serenity Prayer was written out.
Mary thought maybe this is the answer I’m looking for as she started to pray. “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change…..”

Viki,
Prayer works in many ways. This post is ripe with both pain and hope, and it touches my soul.

Dear Viki,
Wonderful Centus! I just love it! Very well-written and excellent use of the prompt, which 'fits like a glove' in the text!
You may or may not have noticed that I have the serenity prayer posted on my sideboard as a reminder to myself to keep things in the right perspective.
Thank you for your kind words on my SC-post.
Peace & Blessings,
Anna
