Merry Christmas Everyone!!
“Christmas Day is in our grasp, as long as we have hands to clasp! Christmas Day will always be, just as long, as we have we! Welcome Christmas while we stand, heart to heart, and hand in hand!” –Dr. Seuss “Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind. ” “A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.” “What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace." ― Agnes M. Pahro “Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.”

Big Book
Quote The
feeling of having shared in a common peril is one element in the powerful
cement which binds us. But that in itself would never have held us together
as we are now joined. P17 |

Daily Thought ^*^*^*^*^ (\ ~~ /) ( \(AA)/ ) (_ /AA\ _) / AA \ ^*^*^*^*^ Why
Worry? "There are many short phrases
and expressions in A.A. which make sound sense. 'First Things First':
solving our immediate problems before we try to solve all the others . . .
'Easy Does it.' 'Relax a little.' Try for
inner contentment. No one individual can carry all the burdens of the world.
Everyone has problems. Getting drunk won't solve them. 'Twenty-four hours a
day.' 'Today is the day.' Doing our best, living each day to the fullest is the
art of living. Yesterday is gone, and we don't know whether we will be here
tomorrow. If we do a good job of living today, and if tomorrow comes for us,
then the chances are we will do a good job when it arrives - so why worry
about it?"

DAILY
REFLECTIONS AT PEACE WITH LIFE Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God's will into all of our activities "How can I best serve
Thee— Thy will (not mine) be done." ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 85 I read this passage each morning, to start off my day, because it is a continual reminder to "practice these principles in all my affairs." When I keep God's will at the forefront of my mind, I am able to do what I should be doing, and that puts me at peace with life, with myself and with God. |

POT LUCK A Day At A Time Reflection For The Day Someone once said that the
mind’s direction is more important than its progress. If my direction is correct, then progress
is sure to follow. We first come to
The Program to receive something for ourselves, but soon learn that we
receive most bountifully when we give to others. If the direction of my mind is to give
rather than to receive, then I’ll benefit beyond my greatest expectations. The more I give of myself and the more
generously I open my heart and mind to others, the more growth and progress I’ll
achieve. Am I learning not to
measure my giving against my getting, accepting that the act of giving is its
own reward? Today I Pray May I not lose sight of
that pillar of The Program — helping myself through helping others in our
purpose of achieving comfortable sobriety.
May I feel that marvel of giving and taking and giving back again from
the moment I take the First Step. May I care deeply about
others’ maintaining their freedom from chemicals, and may I know that they
care about me. It is a simple — and
beautiful — exchange. Today I Will Remember Give and take and give back
again. |
