Twenty-Four Hours A Day

A.A. Thought for the Day
We must know the nature of our weakness before we can
determine how to deal with it. When we are honest about its
presence, we may discover that it is imaginary and can be
overcome by a change of thinking. We admit that we are
alcoholics and we would be foolish if we refused to accept
our handicap and do something about it. So by honestly facing
our weakness and keeping ever present the knowledge that for
us alcoholism is a disease with which we are afflicted, we
can take the necessary steps to arrest it. Have I fully
accepted my handicap?
Meditation for the Day
There is a proper time for everything. I must learn not to
do things at the wrong time, that is, before I am ready or
before conditions are right. it is always a temptation to do
something at once, instead of waiting until the proper time.
Timing is important. I must learn, in the little daily
situations of life, to delay action until I am sure that I
am doing the right thing at the right time. So many lives
lack balance and timing. In the momentous decisions and
crises of life, they may ask God's guidance, but into the
small situations of life, they rush alone.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may delay action until I feel that I am doing
the right thing. I pray that I may not rush in alone.
