TOPICS – August 25
1) Daily Reflections:
THE GIFT OF BONDING…
Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS , p. 63
2) Prayer For The Day:
I pray that I may not speak or act in the midst of emotional upheaval.
I pray that I may wait until the tempest is past.
3) Daily Inspiration:
Many more things go right in a day than go wrong, but you will never notice if that one trying moment becomes your focus. Lord, help me make a conscious effort to see the richness of my life and live with gratitude for all of its wonders. If you have more than you need, but still feel it isn’t enough, then you are poor. God, may I take time to recognize and enjoy my blessings.
4) Each Day a New Beginning:
Procrastination plagues us all, at one time or another. But any activity that is worthy of our effort should be tackled by bits and pieces, one day at a time. We are too easily overwhelmed when we set our sights only on the accomplished goal. We need to focus, instead, on the individual elements and then on just one element at a time. A book is written, word-by-word. A house is built, timber-by-timber. A college degree is attained, course-by-course. By the time we got to this program, most of us had accumulated a checkered past, much of which we wanted to deny or forget. And the weight of our past can stand in the way of the many possibilities in the present.
