*~*~*~*^Twenty Four Hours A Day^*~*~*~*
A.A. Thought for the Day
Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. We always get worse,
never better. We are never cured. Our alcoholism can only be
arrested. No matter how long we have been sober, if we try
liquor again, we're as bad or worse than we ever were. There
is no exception to this rule in the whole history of A.A. We
can never recapture the good times of the past. They are gone
forever. Will I try to recapture them?
Meditation for the Day
Your life has been given to you mainly for the purpose of
training your soul. This life we live is not so much for the
body as for the soul. We often choose the way of life that best
suits the body, not the way that best suits the soul. God wants
you to choose what suits the soul as well as the body. Accept
this belief and a wonderful molding of character is the result.
Reject it and God's purpose for your life is frustrated, and
your spiritual progress is delayed. Your soul is being trained
by the good you choose. Thus the purpose of your life is being
accomplished.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may choose what is good for my soul. I pray that
I may realize God's purpose for my life.
