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

Your thoughts are what frighten you. Choose to change them, and the fear is gone. Your thoughts are what cause you to be frustrated, angry, disappointed, impatient and uncomfortable. And your thoughts can also take you far away from all those things. For your thoughts can transform anger into forgiveness, disappointment into determination, discomfort into inspiration, and fear into love. The choice is always yours. ~Ralph Marston
Today I am grateful...
  • that my mind will often halt during a thought. I have found this frustrating, but this morning in prayer I realized it might be God managing to let me let go. Just a thought.
  • for yesterday's packed 11th step meeting
  • that Boston and her brother were there
  • for being led a bit further down the path each day
  • that most days I am led to still waters
I used to spend so much time reacting and responding to everyone else that my life had no direction. Other people's lives, problems, and wants set the course for my life. Once I realized it was okay for me to think about and identify what I wanted, remarkable things began to take place in my life. ~Anonymous

Dear Scott,

How right you are about "thoughts."

I spend many hours a day quieting, cancelling, and re-directing mine. It can be exhausting mentally.

Thus, the very reason I question my "worthiness" of Grace.

Love you
