A.A. Thought for the Day ~

Every time we go to an A.A. meeting, every time we say the Lord's prayer, every time we have a quiet time before breakfast, we're paying a premium on our insurance against taking that first drink. And every time we help another alcoholic; we're making a large payment on our drink insurance. We're making sure that our policy doesn't lapse. Am I building up an endowment in serenity,  peace, and happiness that will put me on easy street for the rest of my life?

Meditation for the Day ~

I gain faith by my own experience of God's power in my life. The constant, persistent recognition of God's spirit in all my personal relationships, the ever-accumulating weight of evidence in support of God's guidance, the numberless instances in which seeming chance or wonderful coincidence can be traced to God's purpose in my life. All these things gradually engender a feeling of wonder, humility, and gratitude to God. These in turn are followed by a more sure and abiding faith in God and His purposes.

Prayer for the Day ~

I pray that my faith may be strengthened every day. I pray that I may find confirmation of my life in the good things that have come into my life.

Thank Gof for this one: "the numberless instances in which seeming chance or wonderful coincidence can be traced to God's purpose in my life"

Where would I be without THAT one!!!

Thanks Patches. I do too. A timely reminder from you of your website there too. I've just been over & had a good root around & really like what I found. I'm struggling in reluctance of Step4 again. I've done fears & resentments & have to do my SC.. Why is it so hard to look at myself? I know it's because I'm lazy really & I hate the thought of having to change tho I long for it too. I'm scared that when I open up & face all these inner tensions I'll let out a scream that never stops.. & then I'll have to change ;) Thanks for being here & GIVING ME A NUDGE. (oops! Accidental caps lol) No, I need to read the BB again. I've been avoiding it. Except in meetings but it's the action@home that counts. Thanks Patches. Please do keep coming back. Danielle x
