Hey Guys, I'm just checking in to see how everybodies Sunday has been. I was thinking about the ring of fire Rick said they all light, trying to invision what that would look like, about how pretty that must be.Our town doesn't do anything special for the week-end.
Today has been a long one, church was great this morning, I have something to share with you all some other time. My Mom , who I care for has done nothing but sit and watch the news now for days, I see the depression beginning to show on her face. I turn the TV and she turns it right back. I remember as a child listening to my grandfathers talk about such things, things like this that could happen in the US.
Today they are moving people into the city 100 miles from me where my children live, my daughters church is helping, 4 apartments in my son's complex have been rented to people from New Orleans, I thank God that TX has stepped up to help.We fixed more boxes of stuff to be send on trucks tomorrow.That's what will help me, staying as busy as I can , helping others in their time of need.
This is a time for us as a people to pull together. It was said their are good and bad people everywhere , that's right. I'm the only one who has to answer for my actions so I chose to do good.We in AA have had the pleasure, most I would say, of experiencing a fellowship of people who do not see race, social status, economic status, just that common bond of one alcoholic to another, it is just a way of life I have carried over in all my affairs. It's been a gift given to me in the rooms of AA.Something I never found anywhere else.
Thank God for all I have tonight, it could all be gone tomorrow.Thank God for you all and I pray you all have a sober night.I had to remember today that it was okay for me to smile and to laugh, and to feel happy that I'm alive and sober.More tears will come I'm sure, and that's okay too.God bless you all.
