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...
The gemstones used in the Serenity Prayer jewelry
symbolizes the spiritual principles found in the
Serenity Prayer: Serenity, Acceptance, Courage, Change,
and Wisdom.
Something about wearing them, seeing them in the mirror,
having people comment on them, helps me to remember what
they stand for.
Serenity
-
ROSE QUARTZ - Rose Quartz is the
perfect teacher of self love. And with that love of
self comes serenity and the peace that transcends all
understanding .
What greater gift can we have than
this? When serenity lies within, peace lies
without. Not only for ourselves, but the quiet
confidence that surrounds us when we know all is as it
should be, touches all those in our circle, family and
friends alike.
Acceptance
-
CHRYSOCOLLA - With quiet dignity we
acknowledge what is, and accept that all is as it
should be in this moment. That a power greater
than ourselves is at work, which allows for a genuine
understanding that we know not what path another
should take to get where he needs to go.
With this comes acceptance.
Chrysocolla, a sedimentary stone, formed by the slow,
irresistible forces of its environment. Through calm
acceptance of the winds, rains, heat and cold,
Chrysocolla evolves from simple, elemental copper into
a beautiful gemstone of brilliant and vibrant color .
It teaches us that acceptance can produce
great inner strength, helping to sustain one during
stressful and or long - enduring situations, and
result in surprising beauty.
Other Acceptance Stones:
CHRYSOCOLLA, Apatite, Chrysoprase ,
Turquoise, , Tiger Iron, Blue Quartz
Change -
For Women:
CHAROITE - began as simple Limestone in
Russia. When the glaciers came through, the pressure
and friction forced the Limestone to metamorphism into
a beautifully complex mineral. Charoite teaches us
that even though change is painful and can take many
years to complete, the end result is a joy to behold.
For Men:
Black Onyx- Change: Helps release old
beliefs and patterns that no longer serve us
AGATE -
What battles do you face today? The need for Courage
and Bravery ..in being true to ourselves and what we
believe, was not lost when we put down our swords!!
On the contrary, the most courageous among us today
are those that have the courage to stay the course and
keep to their own inner truth despite the
temptations around us.
Courage -
BLOODSTONE (jasper) is a hero's
stone. It symbolizes our ability to go above and
beyond what we once thought possible. Like
soldier and warriors of days gone by, we carry it into
our daily battles as a symbol of strength and
leadership. Like all members of the Jasper
gemstone family Bloodstone gives courage, courage to
make choices, courage to be silent. A power
stone, pprotecting us from our own impulsive desires.
Wisdom -
RUBY- has always been associated with wisdom and
making wise choices, and has long been a favored
gemstone of leaders. The wisdom of ruby allows us to
stake a moment, stop and think about the consequences
of our choices, for ourselves, for our loved ones.
Ruby heightens our love for life, giving us
motivation and inspiration to choose wisely, and
introduces joy into our world.
or
Quartz - another excellent wisdom stone
. Quartz is the Mother Crystal , holding the Wisdom of
the Ages . It enhances intuition and
spiritual awareness, helping us to remember that our
choices do not only affect ourselves. Self
centeredness and wisdom cannot sit comfortably side by
side.
Quartz Crystal balances and energizes the
seven main Chakras, which helps make the body
healthier. A healthy body thinks clearer and chooses
wiser.

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...
and it continues...
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.
