Prayer ^*^*^ "The man said, 'The thing I do is to say "God here I am and here are all my troubles. I've made a mess of things and can't do anything about it. You take me and all my troubles, and do anything you want with me." ' I return to bed. It doesn't make sense. . . I am in the bottom of hell. And there a tremendous hope is born. It might be true. I tumble out of bed on my knees. I know not what I say. But slowly a great peace comes to me. I feel lifted up. I believe in God. I crawl back into bed and sleep like a child." 1976AAWS, Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 504
Faith is not belief without proof; it's trust without reservation.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may gladly leave my future in God's hands. I pray that I may be confident that good things will happen, as long as I am on the right path.
"...we aren't a glum lot. If newcomers could see no joy or fun in our existence, they wouldn't want it. We absolutely insist on enjoying life."
Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, The Family Afterward, pg. 132
And the old song from somewhere...Happy,happy,happy. Happy talk. Talk about things we like to do..If you dont have a dream,how you gona make a dream come true. :}..
Oh how I dreamed my days away wishing that I was sober..Today I make sure that I am. Thank you all with fondest and love.
We all have our intimate way of communicating with our HP. Mine is, has and always will be through FAITH! I don't remember when or why I started this habit, but I collect lost coins I find on the streets when I'm jogging or walking my dog, and save them in a glass container. I find these coins in the most obscure and oddest places. My favorites are the most worn out ones that have a history to them. The other night I went through my jar and started separating them by year just for fun. All of a sudden it hit me like a blinding "a-ha" thing (hard to explain in type)...something written on each of my cherished coins...IN GOD WE TRUST!
It made me smile!
