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

03.13.07

0I didn't think my sponsor could read for the first six months. I'd say; "John, I need a better paying job." and he'd say: "Read page 127, what does it say on page 127?" I'm expecting to find a credit card application there or something, and it says; 'Material well-being always follows spiritual progress, it never preceded." ~Chris C.
Today I am grateful...
  • for a God of my own understanding. Because that is what I need. I have to have MY OWN understanding, because someone else's understanding won't make sense to me.
  • that the solution is simple
  • that the solution is spiritual
  • that every day I live in the sunlight of the spirit I am completing the circle of my Higher Power's love. By letting that love flow to another person, actually returns that love to my Higher Power, because IT lives in another as IT lives in me.
Any time I allow selfishness, dishonesty, resentment and fear to be a part of me, I block out spiritual things. As I maintain my sobriety, growing spiritually becomes a lifelong process. My goal is spiritual growth, accepting that I'll never have spiritual perfection. ~Daily Reflections
Let your spirit be in harmony with God's spirit and there is no limit to what you can do in the realm of human relationships. ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day

Yes, the solution is very simple. The only time it's hard is when I'm resistant to it.
I hope you have a beautiful day today......I'm know I'm trying to.
