A “LIMITLESS LODE”
When I talk with a newcomer to A.A., my past looks me
straight in the face. I see the pain in those hopeful
eyes, I extend my hand, and then the miracle happens: I
become healed. My problems vanish as I reach out to his
trembling soul.
- Prayer For The Day
I pray that my horizons may grow ever wider.
I pray that I may keep reaching out for more service
and companionship. - As Bill Sees It
The Step That Keeps Us growing, p.264Sometimes, when friends tell us how well we are doing, we know
better inside. We know we aren’t doing well enough. We still
can’t handle life, as life is. There must be a serious flaw
somewhere in our spiritual practice and development.
What, then, is it?
The chances are better than even that we shall locate our trouble in
our misunderstanding or neglect of A.A.’s Step Eleven–prayer,
meditation, and the guidance of God. - Grapevine quote of the day
“Success and failure share a common denominator. Both are temporary.”
