24 Hours A Day

A.A. Thought For The Day

Today is ours. Let us live today as we believe God wants us to live.
Each day will have a new pattern which we cannot foresee. But we
can open each day with a quiet period in which we say a little prayer,
asking God to help us through the day. Personal contact with God, as
we understand Him, will from day to day bring us nearer to an
understanding of His will for us. At the close of the day, we offer Him
thanks for another day of sobriety. A full, constructive day has been
lived and we are grateful. Am I asking God each day for strength and
thanking Him each night?

Meditation For The Day

If you believe that God's grace has saved you, then you must believe that He is meaning to save you yet more and keep you in the way that you should go. Even human rescuers would not save you from drowning
only to place you in other deep and dangerous waters.
Rather, they would place you on dry land, there to restore you.
God, who is your rescuer, would certainly do this and even more.
God will complete the task He sets out to do. He will not
throw you overboard, if you are depending on Him.

Prayer For The Day

I pray that I may trust God to keep me in the way.
I pray that I may rely on Him not to let me go

This has been my life preserver lately. Trusting my God. Thanks for the reminder again Carol.

A couple of years ago at church I heard a young pastor tell of how he took his tiny

girl into a pool for the first time. She wrapped her legs around him, and nearly choked

him to death.. lol. He told her, "Baby, you don't have to hang on so tight...Daddy is

not going to let go of you." When he went through a rough time later on, his HP spoke

to him...reminded him..of holding onto his little girl in the water that day, and said.."W", in the

same way..you don't have to hang onto me so tightly...I'm not going to let go of you."

Today's reading reminded me of this story.

Thanks from me too, Carol.
