A.A. Thought For The Day



A.A. work is one hundred percent voluntary. It depends on
each and every one of our members to volunteer to do his
or her share. Newcomers can sit on the sidelines until they
have got over their nervous- ness and confusion. They have
a right to be helped by all, until they can stand on their own
feet. But the time inevitably comes when they have to speak
up and volunteer to do their share in meetings and in
twelfth-step work. Until that time comes, they are not a
vital part of A.A. They are only in the process of being
assimilated. Has my time come to volunteer?


Meditation for the Day


God's kingdom on earth is growing slowly, like a seed in the
ground. In the growth of His kingdom, there is always
progress among the few who are out ahead of the crowd.
Keep striving for something better and there can be no
stagnation in your life. Eternal life, abundant life is yours
for the seeking. Do not misspend time over past failures.
Count the lessons learned from failures as rungs upon the
ladder of progress. Press onward toward the goal.


Prayer for the Day


I pray that I may be willing to grow. I pray that I may 'keep
stepping up on the rungs of the ladder of life.
