~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
sorry it's been awhile.. but I just feel like posting this today.
09/17 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
In a letter to a friend, AA co-founder Bill W. wrote, "I don't think happiness or unhappiness is the point. How do we meet the problems we face? How do we best learn from them and transmit what we have learned to others, if they would receive the knowledge? In my view, we of this world are pupils in a great school of life. It is intended that we try to grow, and that we try to help our fellow travelers to grow in the kind of love that makes no demands... When pain comes, we are expected to learn from it willingly, and help others to learn. When happiness comes, we accept it as a gift, and thank God for it." CAN I ACCEPT BOTH PAIN AND HAPPINESS WILLINGLY?
TODAY I PRAY
God, please help me remember that everything that happens to me has its worth, including the misery of addiction. May I believe that even my dependency was part of God's Grand Scheme to bring me to Him.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
All that I am is all that has happened to me.
