Twenty-Four Hours A Day for 6/17/13

*~*~*~*^Twenty Four Hours A Day^*~*~*~*

A.A. Thought for the Day

We in A.A. have the privilege of living two lives in one lifetime. One life of drunkenness, failure, and defeat. Then, through A.A., another life of sobriety, peace of mind, and usefulness. We who have recovered our sobriety are modem miracles. And were living on borrowed time. Some of us might have been dead long ago. But we have been given another
chance to live. Do I owe a debt of gratitude to A.A. that I can never repay as long as I live?

Meditation for the Day

Thinking about God in love and worship drives away evil. It is the thought before that the hosts of evil flee. The thought of a Power greater than yourself is the call for a life-line to rescue you from temptation. The thought of God banishes loneliness and dispels gloom. it summons help to conquer your faults. Think of God as often as possible. Use the thought
prayerfully and purposefully. It win carry your thoughts away from material things and toward the spiritual things that make life worthwhile.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may think of God often. I pray that I may rest in peace at the thought of His love and care.

I have always loved this idea of having two lives in one lifetime. What a gift. The old life may not seem like a gift now - it was hell, in fact - but it seems to lay the groundwork for where I am now and today. Without the pain and suffering I went through back then, I wouldn't have gone to AA and really learn how to grow and live and give.
