DAILY REFLECTIONS
1) In God‘s economy, nothing is wasted. Through failure, we learn a lesson and humility, which is probably needed, painful though it is.
-AS BILL SEES IT, p. 31
BIG BOOK QUOTE, p. 67
2) We avoid retaliation or argument. We wouldn’t treat sick people that way. If we do, we destroy our chance of being helpful. We cannot be helpful to all people, but at least God will show us how to take a kindly and tolerant view of each and every one.
WALK IN DRY PLACES
3) We cannot live freely and happily if we practice gossip in any form. The practice may be hidden, but it leaves us with guilt, fear, and shame. We cannot gossip and be completely trustworthy and reliable. I will truly mind my own business today. Forgiving myself for past excursions into gossip, I will say nothing about others behind their backs. If somebody has gossip to share, I will politely move to another topic.
4) “God alone knows the secret plan
Of the things he will do for the world
Using my hand.”
-Toyohiko Kagawa
