An Unexpected Text Message
Life can get overwhelming, and even someone as accomplished as Marie Osmond isn’t immune to those feelings. Over the weekend, she found herself a bit disoriented amidst the chaos of daily life. Despite her best efforts to keep personal pressures private, her family was aware of her struggles. That’s when her daughter, Abigail, stepped in with a thoughtful gesture. “This weekend so many things were going on, I was a little discombobulated and that left me unsettled—does that happen to you sometimes?” Marie wrote on Instagram. “I guess my family was aware of the pressures even though I try to keep personal pressures, ‘personal,’ 😂,” she added, revealing her daughter’s unexpected act of kindness.
View this post on InstagramThis weekend so many things were going on, I was a little discombobulated and that left me unsettled—does that happen to you sometimes? I guess my family was aware of the pressures even though I try to keep personal pressures, “personal,” 😂 because when I woke up this morning I saw my daughter Abby had sent the Serenity Prayer to me. She said, “Mama, this is my favorite prayer, I just wanted to share it with you. I love you.” The prayer reads: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.” ~Reinhold Neibuhr This was such a gift to wake up to and just what I needed. My sweet daughter, who is now my teacher 😊, has been through so much in her 17 years so I understand why the Serenity prayer is important to her. I love how the three main words in the prayer work together, Serenity, Courage and Wisdom. Even though it has taken tremendous courage for Abby to accept the things in her life she cannot change, I can see the peace and strength growing in her because of that acceptance. My Sunday post is sent to you today through my loving daughter Abby and her favorite prayer. As we strive to have serenity and accept the things we cannot change, have courage to change the things we can, then we will be blessed with the wisdom to know the difference! #HappySunday

She shared the prayer along with her thoughts, emphasizing how it resonated with her and her daughter. For Marie, this wasn’t just a text—it was a profound moment of connection with her daughter.
As Marie reflected on the message, she realized how much Abigail has grown over the years. “This was such a gift to wake up to and just what I needed,” she said. “My sweet daughter, who is now my teacher 😊, has been through so much in her 17 years so I understand why the Serenity prayer is important to her.”

A Special Bond with Rachael
While Marie shares a special bond with all her children, she has a unique connection with her 30-year-old daughter, Rachael Krueger. In an interview with Closer Weekly, Marie revealed how much she and Rachael have in common. “My daughter Rachael and I are very similar in a lot of ways,” she said. “She has that same personality that I have where she wants to know and do everything. She’s never satisfied. She just took a hair class and now she’s taking this class.”
Marie’s influence clearly extends beyond her music career, as she continues to inspire her children and fans alike with her wisdom and grace. Her kids, like her, are driven and curious, always seeking new opportunities for growth and learning.
