TOPICS -October 13
1) Daily Reflections:
UNREMITTING INVENTORIES….
Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment,and fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them. We discuss them with someone immediately and make amends quickly if we have harmed anyone. Then we resolutely turn our thoughts to someone we can help.

2) Prayer For The Day:
I pray that I may be willing to grow. I pray that I may keep stepping up on the rungs of the ladder of life.
3) Keep It Simple:
Self-pity is one of the most dangerous forms of self-centeredness. It fogs our vision. —Kathy S.
Sometimes we get stuck in our own way of seeing things. We may feel as if everything that happens, happens to us or for us. If it rains, we may think about our ruined picnic and not about the dry fields that need the rain. We need to focus on the big picture. This keeps us from becoming self-centered. If it rains, we’ll gather indoors and be glad for the farmers. When we do our part, things go well. When we don’t we feel it. Every else feels it too. Self pity keeps us from doing our part.
4) I pray to see the path God lights for me as I am at times blinded by my own lack of consciousness or lack of faith.
