24 Hours A Day
*~*~*~*^Twenty Four Hours A Day^*~*~*~*
A.A. Thought for the Day
Step One is, "We admitted we were powerless over alcohol-that our
lives had become unmanageable." This step states the membership
requirement of A.A. We must admit that our lives are disturbed. We
must accept the fact that we are helpless before the power of alcohol.
We must admit that we are licked as far as drinking is concerned and
that we need help. We must be willing to accept the bitter fact that
we cannot drink like normal people. And we must make, as gracefully
as possible, a surrender to the inevitable fact that we must stop
drinking. Is it difficult for me to admit that I am different from
normal drinkers?
Meditation for the Day
"Show us the way, O' Lord, and let us walk in Thy paths." There seems
to be a right way to live and a wrong way You can make a practical
test. When you live the right way, things seem to work out well for
you. When you live the wrong way, things seem to work out badly for
you. You seem to take out of life about what you put into it. if you
disobey the laws of nature, the chances are that you will be
unhealthy. If you disobey the spiritual and moral laws, the chances
are that you will be unhappy. By following the laws of nature and
the spiritual laws of honesty, purity, unselfishness, and love, you
can expect to be reasonably healthy and happy.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may try to live the right way. I pray that I may follow
the path that leads to a better life.

Hey, Carol, that's the same reading as yesterday -- and the one for today is really good -- Steps 2,3 and 11!

A.A. Thought for the Day
Step Two is, "Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity." Step Three is, "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him." Step Eleven is, "Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out." The fundamental basis of A.A. is a belief in some Power greater than ourselves. Let us not take this lightly. We cannot fully get the program without this venture of belief. Have I made the venture of belief in a Power greater than my own?
Meditation for the Day
"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Dwell for a moment each day in a secret place, the place of communion with God, apart from the world, and thence receive strength to face the world. Material things cannot intrude upon this secret place, they cannot ever find it, because it is outside the realm of material things. When you abide in this secret place, you are under the shadow of the Almighty. God is close to you in this quiet place of communion. Each day, dwell for a while in this secret place.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may renew my strength in quietness. I pray that I may find rest in quiet communion with God.
