TOPICS – March 25
1) Daily Reflections
A FULL AND THANKFUL HEART
I try hard to hold fast to the truth that a full and
thankful heart cannot entertain certain conceits. When
brimming with gratitude, one’s heartbeat must surely
result in outgoing love, the finest emotion that we
can ever know.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 37
2) A.A. Thought For The Day
Strength comes from coming to believe in a Higher Power
that can help you. You can’t define this Higher Power, but
you can see how it helps other alcoholics. You hear them
talk about it and you begin to get the idea yourself. You
try praying in a quiet time each morning and you begin to
feel stronger, as though your prayers were heard. So you
gradually come to believe there must be a Power in the
world outside of yourself, which is stronger than you and
which you can turn to for help. Am I receiving strength from
my faith in a Higher Power?
3) Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may persist day by day in gaining spiritual
experience. I pray that I may make this a lifetime work.
4) As Bill Sees It
Benefits of Responsibility, p. 84
“Happily, A.A.’s per capita expenses are very low. For us to fail to
meet them would be to evade a responsibility beneficial for us.
“Most alcoholics have said they had no troubles that money would not
cure. We are a group that, when drinking, always held out a hand for
funds. So when we commence to pay our own service bills, this is a
healthy change.”
