IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

Today I am grateful...

  • for growing pains
  • for solutions
  • for the all inclusive society of AA
  • for strengthening support from a spiritual brother
  • to be reminded that when I walk through trials and tribulations I am establishing my own sober history, that one day I will sit across from another and be able to share my experience, strength and hope
  • for prayers for Edie's health
  • for today's thought from Hazelden (see below)

The Fellowship Prayer
Dear Higher Power, I am grateful that:
-I am part of the Fellowship, one among many, but I am one. I need to work the Steps for the development of the buried life within me. -Our Program may be human in its organization, but it is Divine in its purpose. The purpose is to continue my spiritual awakening. -Participating in the privileges of the movement, I shall share in the responsibilities, taking it upon myself to carry my fair share of the load, not grudgingly, but joyfully. To the extent that I fail in my responsibilities, the Program fails. -To the extent that I succeed, the Program succeeds. I shall not wait to be drafted for service to my fellow members, I shall volunteer. -I shall be loyal in my attendance, generous in my giving, kind in my criticism, creative in my suggestions, loving in my attitudes. -I shall give to the Program my interest, my enthusiasm, my devotion, and, most of all, myself.
