Your
Daily Reprieve for Monday April 22, 2024 From Waynesville, NC |
|
See each morning a world
made anew, as if it were the morning
of the very first day; treasure and use it, as if
it were the final hour of the very last day. Normal day, let me be aware
of the treasure you are. Let me learn from
you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in
quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. ~Mary Jane Irion Patterning your life around
other's opinions is nothing more than
slavery. -Lawana Blackwell If you are always trying to
be normal, you will never know how
amazing you can be. -Maya Angelou |

malady is overcome, we straighten out

Daily Reflection NEW SOIL . . . NEW ROOTS Moments of perception can
build into a lifetime of spiritual serenity, as I have
excellent reason to know, loots of reality, supplanting the
neurotic underbrush, will hold fast despite the high winds of
the forces which would destroy us, or which we would use
to destroy ourselves. AS BILL SEES IT, p. 173 [ came to A.A. green—a
seedling quivering with exposed taproots. It was for
survival but it was a >beginning. I stretched, developed,
twisted, but with he help of others, my spirit eventually burst
up from the roots. I was free. I acted, withered, went
inside, prayed, acted again, understood anew, as one
moment of perception struck. Up from my roots, spirit-arms
lengthened into strong, green .hoots: high-springing
servants stepping skyward. Here on earth God
unconditionally continues the legacy of higher love. My A.A.
life put me "on a different footing . . . [my] roots grasped a
new soil" (Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 12). |

Pot Luck Our gratitude deepens when we begin to be thankful for being
alive and living the life we are living. Often when we practice being thankful, we go through the
process of counting our blessings, acknowledging the wonderful people,
things, and places that make up our reality. While it is fine to be grateful
for the good fortune we have accumulated, true thankfulness stems from a
powerful comprehension of the gift of simply being alive regardless of our
circumstances. In this deep state of gratitude, we recognize the purity of
the experience of being, in and of itself, and our thankfulness is part of
our awareness that we are one with this great mystery that is life. It is difficult for most of us to access this level of
consciousness as we are very caught up in the ups and downs of our individual
experiences in the world. But the thing to remember about the world is, it
ebbs and flows, expands and contracts, gives and takes, and is by its very
nature somewhat unreliable. If we only feel gratitude when it serves our
desires, this is not true thankfulness. No one is exempt from the twists and
turns of fate, which may, at any time, take the possessions, situations, and
people we love away from us. Ironically, it is sometimes this kind of loss
that awakens us to a thankfulness that goes deeper than just being grateful
when things go our way. Illness and near-miss accidents also can serve as
wake-up calls to the deeper realization that we are truly lucky to be alive. We do not have to wait to be shaken to experience this state
of being truly thankful for our lives. Tuning into our breath and making an
effort to be fully present for a set period of time each day can do wonders
for our ability to connect with true gratitude. We also can awaken ourselves
with the intention to be more aware of the unconditional generosity of the
life force that flows through us regardless of our circumstances.
