Anniversary

God Shot...

This week was my AA anniversary.
I always donate a certain $ amount for each year of sobriety.

Yesterday found me woefully short of cash so I was going to wait
until next week.


However....I was not following my heart
so I did add the extra to the basket. That was the right thing to do.

Today a letter from Uncle Sam informed me I had been shorted
on my food stamps and would be credited next week with the difference.

Yes...it was exactly the amount I put in yesterday....

Glad you're here and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Another message from angels telling us we are doing the right thing and rewarding us for doing it. Are these the messages from people who have lived before and know the blessings of life? I like to think so.

Happy Anniversary Carol!! Thank you for your love.

love,
Brigid
