Mon.Food For Thought

October 31st, Gifts of the Spirit Through the OA program, we come to desire spiritual gifts as well as materieal neccessities. Experience shows us that serenity is priceless and something to be desired more than unneccessary food. Courage, wisdom, faith, hope, love, humility-these are all spiritual gifts which come to us from God as we abstain and work our program. As we receive these gifts of the spirit, we are able to share them with others. Giving them away to our families and friends insures that we will receive them more abundantly ourselves. We come to realize that a small gift of time and attention can mean more than an expensive material present. God's gifts are available to us whenever we are open to receive them. By abstaining from compulsive overeating, we make our spirits ready to accept their rightful gifts. I pray that I may be ready to accept Your spiritual gifts.
