Your
Daily Reprieve for Friday April 5, 2024 From Waynesville, NC |
Make the most of the best
and the least of the worst. - Robert Louis Stevenson A new day rose upon me. It was as if another sun
had risen into the sky; the heavens were
indescribably brighter, and the earth fairer; and that day has gone on
brightening to the present hour. I have known the other joys
of life, I suppose, as much as most people; I have known art and
beauty, music and gladness; I have known friendship and
love and family ties; but it is certain that
until we see God in the world —God in the bright and
boundless universe— we never know the highest
joy. - Orville Dewey If
you think you're different you're in the right place. ~Heard
at a Meeting I shall pass through this
world but once. Any good, therefore, that I
can do or any kindness I can show
to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or
neglect it, for I shall not pass this
way again. |
Big Book Quote Most
of us feel we need look no further for Utopia. We have it with us right here
and now. Each day my friend's simple talk in our kitchen multiplies itself in
a widening circle of peace on earth and good will to men. P16 |

12&12 Foreword |
Twenty-Four Hours A.A. Thought For The Day Forgetting ourselves in
fellowship, prayer, and working with others is
what makes the A.A. program work. Are these things keeping me
sober? Each personality is so
different. God alone understands Here we find the miracles of change and the
true interpretation of life.

Consider . . .

Daily Reflection TRUE BROTHERHOOD We have not once sought to
be one in a family, to be a friend among friends, to be a
worker among workers, to be a useful member of society.
Always we tried to struggle to the top of the heap, or to hide
underneath it This self-centered behavior blocked a
partnership relation with any one of those about us. Of true
brotherhood we had small comprehension. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE
TRADITIONS, p. 53 This message contained in
Step Four was the first one I heard loud and clear; I
hadn't seen myself in print before! Prior to my coining into
A.A., I knew of no place that could teach me how to become a
person among persons. From my very first meeting, I saw
people doing just that and I wanted what they had. One of the
reasons that I'm a happy, sober alcoholic today is that I'm
learning this most important lesson. |
Pot Luck
The future is much like the present, only longer. ---Dan Quisenberry In many way we don't know what the future holds. But in terms
of recovery, we know the future holds the Twelve steps. They will be with us
for life. We should never fall into the trap of thinking we
"know" the program. We'll never know all the truth and love the
Steps hold for us. "Knowing the Steps" is a project we'll never
finish. As we change , the Steps change. As the seasons come and go, the same
field or the same tree becomes a different picture. Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, I pray for Your
help as I work the Steps and continue my recovery. Help me discover new
treasures. Action for the Day: I will ask long-time members of
my program how they keep the program fresh and alive. Father Leo's Daily Meditation |
