“I must continue to see my own kinship

with whatever God is identifiable,

just as relentlessly as I work

to make each minute a sober one.”

~Sparks, Nev., August 1969

 

It’s easy to overlook the mundane,

everyday experiences that contribute to who we are becoming. 

These experiences strengthen our willingness

to be patient with and accepting of others. 

The quiet experiences of daily life

can teach us to set aside intolerance and judgment of others.

 Learning to love will have a positive impact

on every aspect of our lives.

"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom."

~Thomas Jefferson

 

Sometimes your only available transportation is a leap of faith.

~Margaret Shepard

 

 

BIG BOOK QUOTE

 

Many times I have gone to my old hospital in despair. On talking to a man there, I would be amazingly lifted up and set on my feet. It is a design for living that works in rough going.

Step Three - "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him."

Let's examine for a moment this idea of dependence at the level of everyday living. In this area it is startling to discover how dependent we really are, and how unconscious of that dependence. Every modern house has electric wiring carrying power and light to its interior. We are delighted with this dependence; our main hope is that nothing will ever cut off the supply of current. By so accepting our dependence upon this marvel of science, we find ourselves more independent personally. Not only are we more independent, we are even more comfortable and secure. Power flows just where it is needed. Silently and surely, electricity, that strange energy so few people understand, meets our simplest daily needs, and our most desperate ones, too. Ask the polio sufferer confined to an iron lung who depends with complete trust upon a motor to keep the breath of life in him.

p. 36

Twenty-Four Hours


 A.A. Thought For The Day

No chain is stronger than its weakest link. Likewise, if you fail in the
day-by-day program, in all probability it will be your weakest point.
Great faith and constant contact with God's power can help you
discover, guard, and undergird your weakest point with a strength not
your own. Intelligent faith in God's power can be counted on to help
you master your emotions, help you to think kindly of others, and help
you with any task that you undertake, no matter how difficult. Am I
master of my emotions?

Meditation For The Day

You need to be constantly recharged by the power of the spirit of
God. Continue with God in quiet times until the life from God, the
Divine life, by that very contact, flows into your being and revises your
fainting spirit. When weary, take time out and rest. Rest and gain
power and strength from God, and then you will be ready to meet
whatever opportunities come your way. Rest until every care and
worry and fear have gone and then the tide of peace and serenity, love
and joy, will flow into your consciousness.

Prayer For The Day

I pray that I may rest and become recharged. I pray that I may pause
and wait for the renewing of my strength.

Possibilities

"How shall we come to terms with seeming failure or success? Can we now adjust to either without despair or pride? Can we accept poverty, sickness, loneliness, and bereavement with courage and serenity? The A.A. answer to these questions about living is 'Yes, all of these things are possible.'"

DAILY REFLECTIONS

 

TRUSTING OTHERS

But does trust require that we be blind to other people's

motives or, indeed, to our own? Not at all; this would be

folly. Most certainly, we should assess the capacity for

harm as well as the capability for good in every person that

we would trust. Such a private inventory can reveal the

degree of confidence we should extend in any given

situation.

AS BILL SEES IT, p. 144

 

I am not a victim of others, but rather a victim of my

expectations, choices and dishonesty. When I expect others

to be what I want them to be and not who they are, when

they fail to meet my expectations, I am hurt. When my

choices are based on self-centeredness, I find I am lonely

and distrustful. I gain confidence in myself, however, when

I practice honesty in all my affairs. When I search my

motives and am honest and trusting, I am aware of the

capacity for harm in situations and can avoid those that are

harmful.

 

 

POT LUCK

 

Freedom

 

Releasing false and limiting beliefs,

I find my freedom.

 

Holding on to outmoded ideas or clinging to ways of thinking that do not reflect who 1 am stunts my growth and keeps my life small. Longing for spiritual freedom is the call of my heart to break free from who I was and fully embrace who I feel called to be. I gain my freedom by claiming my spiritual identity, the truth of myself as a child of God, made in the image and likeness of the Divine.

 

I’m able to express my divine talents and abilities. I liberate myself from thoughts of lack, limitation, hopelessness, and unhappiness. I realize there is power in my words and that I create my life through my thoughts. I now think and speak of happiness, health, joy, peace, and abundance, and I know true freedom.
