Give Thanks

"Though I still find it difficult to accept today's pain and anxiety with any great degree of serenity -- as those more advanced in the spiritual life seem able to do -- I can give thanks for present pain nevertheless.

"I find the willingness to do this by contemplating the lessons learned from past suffering -- lessons which have led to the blessings I now enjoy. I can remember how the agonies of alcoholism, the pain of rebellion and thwarted pride, have often led me to God's grace, and so to a new freedom."
From "Give Thanks:"

Hey Hanuman, Thanks for all the great posts, there is a wealth of great stuff in AA lit. It seems everytime I read ,something new jumps out at me. I love to do BB and 12 and 12 Studies.


Gods grace , I hate to think about where I would be without it today. His grace and mercy is fresh to me every day. I have to remember that, reach out and ask Him for it,and then carry the message to others.


Thanks again and have a great  sober week-end.


(((Hugs)))
