TOPICS – August 5
1) Daily Reflections:
LISTENING DEEPLY, p.226
How persistently we claim the right to decide all by ourselves just
what we shall think and just how we shall act.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 37
2) A.A. Thought For The Day (Twenty-Four Hours A Day):
We in A.A. are offering a spiritual program. The fundamental basis of
A.A. is belief in some Power greater than ourselves. This belief takes
us off the center of the universe and allows us to transfer our
problems to some power outside of ourselves. We turn to this Power
for the strength we need to get sober and stay sober. We put our drink
problem in God’s hands and leave it there. We stop trying to run our
own life and seek to let God run it for us. Do I do my best to give
spiritual help?
3) Prayer For The Day:
I pray that I may never feel inadequate to any situation. I pray that I
may be buoyed up by the feeling that God is with me.
4) Hour To Hour – Book – Quote:
Occasionally we get a glimpse of how others have truly seen us. It is a dreadful experience and if it weren’t for the loving attitude of our fellowship, we sometimes could not bear it. But the growth process is worth the pain as we slowly transform into the people we have always pretended to be. Thank You, for the love of the fellowship to see me through my painful growth forward.
