AA Thought for the Day
July 27 A New Employer We had a new Employer. Being all powerful, He provided what we needed, if we kept close to Him and performed His work well. Established on such a footing we became less and less interested in ourselves, our little plans and designs. More and more we became interested in seeing what we could contribute to life. - Alcoholics Anonymous, (How It Works) p. 63 Thought to Ponder . . . Life will take on new meaning. AA-related 'Alconym' W I L L I N G = When I Live Life, I Need God. ~*~A.A. Thoughts For The Day~*~ Way of Life "The AA way of life is the way we always should have tried to live. 'Grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.' These thoughts become part of our daily lives. They are not ideas of resignation but of the recognition of certain basic facts of living." 1976AAWS, Alcoholics Anonymous, pp. 382-3 Thought to Consider . . . Every day is a gift. That is why we call it the present. *~*~*AACRONYMS*~*~* B E S T = Been Enjoying Sobriety Today? *~*~*~*~*^Just For Today!^*~*~*~*~* Progress From "A Glacier Melts": "A.A. provided for me a means by which I could overcome the compulsion to drink and, more important, a means by which I could achieve a personality change or spiritual awakening--- a surrender to life. Though I have had problems and deep troubles since that summer ten years ago, my faith has not been shaken. I cannot say that I have found God as I understand Him, but rather that I have faith in Something which remains a mystery to me and which I continue to seek. - Fresno, California, USA" 1973 AAWS, Inc.; Came to Believe, 30th printing 2004, pg. 59 *~*~*~*~*^ Grapevine Quote ^*~*~*~*~* "The great art of living is to make the best of things as they are." Cumbria, June 1975 "The Great Art of Living," Emotional Sobriety II *~*~*~*~*^ Big Book & Twelve N' Twelve Quotes of the Day ^*~*~*~*~* "Step Eleven suggests prayer and meditation. We shouldn't be shy on this matter of prayer. Better men than we are using it constantly." Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Into Action, pg. 85 “We thank God from the bottom of our heart that we know Him better." -Alcoholics Anonymous p. 75 “Prayer is the raising of the heart and mind to God – and in this sense it includes meditation.” -Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions p. 102 Misc. AA Literature - Quote We were squarely confronted with the question of faith. We couldn't duck the issue. Some of us had already walked along the bridge of reason toward the desired shore of faith, where friendly hands stretched out in welcome. We were grateful that reason had brought us so far. But, somehow, we couldn't quite step ashore. Perhaps we had been relying too heavily on reason that last mile, and we did not like to lose our support. Yet, without knowing it, had we not been brought to where we stood by a certain kind of faith? For did we not believe in our own reasoning? Did we not have confidence in our ability to think? What was that but a sort of faith? Yes, we had been faithful, abjectly faithful to the god of reason. So, in one way or another, we discovered that faith had been involved all the time! Prayer for the Day: "Higher Power, help me serve other people, not demand that they serve me."
