~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME

07/07 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
What wonderful things could happen in my life if I could get rid of my natural impulse to justify my actions.  Is honesty so deeply repressed under layers of guilt that I can't release it to understand my motives?  Being honest with ourselves isn't easy.  it's difficult to search out why I had this or that impulse and, more importantly, why I acted upon it.  Nothing makes us feel so vulnerable as to give up the crutch of The Alibi, yet my willingness to be vulnerable will go a long way toward helping me grow in The Program.  AM I BECOMING MORE AWARE THAT SELF-DECEPTION MULTIPLIES MY PROBLEMS?

TODAY I PRAY
May God remove my urge to make excuses.  Help me to face up to the realities that surface when I am honest with myself.  Help me to know, as certainly as day follows sunrise, that my difficulties will be lessened if I can only trust His will.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I will be willing to do His will.

Thanks Rhonda,
Made me think about just how much I rationalize stupid stuff, like eating M&Ms with peanuts, because they have peanuts, protein.  Never mind the sugar content and how I will feel afterward.

I need to become more aware of this stuff.  I am going to start back on keeping a food log.  That helps me get honest about my intake.

Hugs,
Trish

You mean peanut M&M's are NOT good for us....     I do the same thing....
