Each day provides its own gifts. ~Ruth P. Freedman
Spiritual growth is the greatest gift we can receive. And we earn it through taking risks. There is much risk involved in working the Steps: The risk of admitting that we're out of control. The risk of turning our will and lives over to a Power greater than ourselves. The risk of letting go of character defects. The risk of making amends to people we've harmed. The risk of admitting our wrongs. The risk of telling our stories as we carry the message of hope. To grow spiritually, we need these adventures. These challenges. These risks. ~Keep It Simple
Today I am grateful...
- that my thinking is not as insane as it once was, only through maintenance of a spiritual condition
- to be much more tolerant but with a long way to go to improve on that front
- for the luxury of quiet time on a Saturday morning
- that I meet with my sponsor this morning to go over the principle behind the 8th step--Brotherly Love. Most of the writing about brotherly love I found on the Internet stems from the Freemasons.
- that my freedoms today are HUGE

Dear Scott,
Brotherly Love, loving my neighbors, these are daily goals for me. Simply being cognizant of the principle and Commandment opens a new world in my life every day. I pray that I will get better at it day by day.
Love you, Happy Saturday
Your sponsor exhibits more tolerance than any person I've known.
The luxury of quiet time is a gift
to yourself.
