Sorry I missed posting yesterday, some thoughts to think of and remember it is all about today and what we do with it. Maybe I should forget more often.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Quote:

Romans 12:9
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good

Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.

The thing I like about the Serenity Prayer is that it works and you can't wear it out, no matter how many times you say it. What I did find was that I was saying it over and over, and forgetting to leave the prayer in my God's Hands, which shows a lack of faith and trust that He will answer.

It says pray without ceasing, but not sure it means saying the same prayer, over and over again, especially if it is for the same thing. Yet having said that, there have been times, when it was the only thing that grounded and centered me to get through what I needed to do, to get through the moment, the hour, the day.

It helps me to just be.

Accept yourself for who you are because who you are has a purpose and an important reason for being. Lord, Your love for me makes me special and lovable.

Today I know my journey to peace and serenity begins with me. Today I have the faith and trust to seek my answers from within.

Life will be so much easier if you can accept that things don't always go as planned and see that these are often magnificent opportunities. Lord, help me learn from the occurrences of today that seem to go awry and show me how to make the situation better through my own flexibility and creativity.

Allow your mind to become quiet and less judgmental and you will feel improvements in all areas of your life. Lord, help my mind avoid twisting the words I hear and misjudging the intentions of others in order to justify my own righteousness. Help me to spread Your peace.

No matter what is going on in my life today, I can always find something for which to be grateful. When I stop and think about this and make a gratitude list, there is no room for depression or self pity. There is so much to be grateful for today.

That probably got your attention! :P but there is no spirtual part of the AA program it is all spiritual! Working the steps of AA has lead me in to a spiritual existence that I did not believe possible. I thought that I had no principles, no morals, that I wasn't much use and was always going to fail. Working the steps of alcoholics anonymous has given me principles, morals and a belief in my self and if that isn't spirituality I dont know what is.

Love it! I was raise in religion and it didn`t stop me from becoming an alcoholic or addict. It wasn`t until I found AA that I found true spirituality. I was able to stop and stay stopped. My religious beliefs enhance my spiritual beliefs, and my spiritual beliefs enrich my religious beliefs.

There would be no accumulation of strength inside if the choices that you make did not require discipline and intention.

Burdens Give Us Wings

An old legend relates that long ago God had a great many burdens which He wished to have carried from one place to another on earth, so He asked the animals to lend a hand. But all of them began to make excuses for not helping: the elephant was too dignified; the lion, too
proud; and so on.

Finally the birds came to God and said, "If you will tie the burdens into small bundles, we'll be glad to carry them for You. We are small but we would like to help."

So God fastened upon the back of each one a small bundle, and they all set out walking across the plain to their destination. They sang as they went, and did not seem to feel the weight of their burdens at all.

Every day the burdens seemed lighter and lighter, until the loads seem to be lifting the birds, instead of the birds carrying the burdens.

When they arrived at their destination, they discovered that when they removed their loads, there were wings in their place, wings which enabled them to fly to the sky and the tree tops.

They had learned how to carry their burdens, and their loads had become wings to carry them nearer to God.

Burdens we carry for others may become wings of the spirit, to lift us into happiness such as we have never known.
