A.A. Thought for the Day

When new members come into my A.A. group, do I make a special
effort to make them feel at home? Do I put myself out to listen
to them, even if their ideas of A.A. are vague? Do I make it a
habit to talk to all new members myself, or do I often leave
that to someone else? I may not be able to help them, but then
again it may be something that I might say that would put them
on the right track. When I see any members sitting alone, do I
put myself out to be nice to them, or do I stay among my own
special group of friends and leave them out in the cold? Are
all new AA.'s my responsibility?

Meditation for the Day

You are God's servant. Serve Him cheerfully and readily. Nobody
likes a servant who avoids extra work, who complains about being
called from one task to do one less enjoyable. A master would
feel ill served by such a servant. But is that not how you so
often serve God? View your day's work in this light. Try to do
your day's work the way you believe God wants you to do it, never
shirking any responsibility and often going out of your way to
be of service.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may be a good servant. I pray that I may be willing
to go out of my way to be of service.
