We in A.A. have the privilege of living two lives in one lifetime. One lifetime of drunkenness, failure & defeat. Then, through A.A., another life of sobriety, peace of mind & usefulness. We who have recovered our sobriety are modern miracles. And we're living on borrowed time. Some of us might have been dead long ago. But we have been given another chance to live. Do I owe a debt of gratitude to A.A. that I can never repay as long as I live?
Meditation for the Day ~
Thinking about God in love & worship drives away evil. It is the thought before that the hosts of evil flee. The thought of a Power greater than yourself is the call for a life-line to rescue you from temptation. The thought of God banishes loneliness & dispels gloom. It summons help to conquer your faults. Think of God as often as possible. Use the thought prayerfully & purposefully. It will carry your thoughts away from material things & towards the spiritual things that make life worthwhile.
Prayer for the Day ~
I pray that I may think of God often. I pray that I may rest in peace at the thought of His love & care.
