December 31 Being of service


"Working with others is only the beginning of service work."

Basic Text, p 56


We're in recovery now. Through living the program, we've attained some
stability in our lives. Our faith in a Higher Power has grown. Our
individual spiritual awakening is progressing comfortably. So now what? Do
we simply sit still and enjoy? Of course not. We find a way to be of
service.

We tend to think of service only in terms of committee service or
holding a position at some level, but service goes far beyond this
understanding. In fact, we can find opportunities to be of service in nearly
every area of our lives. Our jobs are a form of service to our
communities, no matter what our occupation. The work we do in our homes serves our
families. Perhaps we do volunteer work in our communities.

What a difference our service efforts make! If we doubt this, we can
just imagine what the world would be like if no one bothered to be of
service to others. Our work serves humanity. The message we carry goes
beyond the rooms of recovery, affecting everything we do.


Just for today: I will look for opportunities to be of service in
everything I do.
