Today let’s review some of the sayings of an Al-Anon founder:
“Smugness is the very worst sin of all, I believe. It is difficult for a shaft of light to pierce the armor of self-righteousness.”

TODAY’S REMINDER
“It is easy to fool oneself about motives, and admitting it is hard, but very beneficial.”
“Bargaining with God and asking Him to grant my wishes is not the highest form of prayer. It is very different from praying only for knowledge of God’s will for me…”
