~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME

06/01 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Slowly, but surely, I'm becoming able to accept other people's faults as well as their virtues.  The Program is teaching me to "always love the best in others--and never fear their worst."  This is hardly an easy transition from my old way of thinking, but I'm beginning to see that all people--inlcuding myself--are to some extent emotionally ill as well as frequently wrong.  AM I APPROACHING TRUE TOLERANCE?  AM I BEGINNING TO SEE WHAT REAL LOVE FOR MY FELLOWS ACTUALLY MEANS?

TODAY I PRAY
May God give me tolerance for any shortcomings or sick symptoms or insensitivites of others, so that I can love the qualities that are good in them.  May God instruct me in the truest meaning of love--which must also include patience and forgiveness.  May I not overlook the faults of those I love, but may I try to understand them.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Love is understanding.

Normally your posts are much to religious for me even though your state 'spiritual not religious', but I really enjoyed this post today.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.  All of these are simply from a book titled.. A DAY AT A TIME.   It is in date order and I just post what today's reading states.  It's been very nurturing to me and I enjoying posting them.
