~~SPIRITUAL~~ A DAY AT A TIME
AUGUST 23
REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
I heard someone in The Program once read, "Burn the idea into the consciousness of every man that he can get well, regardless of anyone. The only condition is that he trust in God and clean house." That is what Step Seven means to me -- that I'm going to clean house and will have all the help I need. DO I REALIZE, BE TAKING THE SEVENTH STEP, THAT I'M NOT REALLY GIVING UP A THING, BUT, INSTEAD, GETTING RID OF WHATEVER MIGHT LEAD ME BACK TO MY ADDICITIONS AND AWAY FROM PEACE OF MIND?
TODAY I PRAY
May I know that if I should give up that key word "humbly," which combines all in one -- my humility, my awe, my faith, I would once again be taking too much on my shoulders and assuming that the Power is my own. May God in His wisdom make His will mine, His strength mine, His goodness mine. As He fills me with these Divine gifts, there can be little space left in me for looming defects.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Trust in God and clean house.
It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end. ~Ursula K. LeGuin
Anger and resentment don't hurt the person that I have the issue with.....they only cause ME grief for hanging onto the anger and resentment and letting it get the better of me. Got to learn to let things go.
Have a GREAT Saturday!

When one door of happiness closes, another opens:
but often we look so long at the closed door that
we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
