Thought for Today
Permalink  
 


Thanks for the welcome everyone. I  have no idea what tomorrow brings. I hafta leave it with a Higher Power, and see where it leads. Life kinda went off the expectant course--dont know if its temporary or permanent. Maybe hele fix whats broken--maybe He wont--all I can do right now is fully trust, that whatever happens, itll be ok.


Have a good Thursday.


 


A.A. Thought for the Day


Before alcoholics come into A.A., they are "flying blind." But A.A. gives them a directed beam in the A.A. program. As long as they keep on this beam, the signal of sobriety keeps coming through. If they have a slip, the signal is broken. If they swing off course into drunkenness, the signal stops. Unless they regain the A.A. directed beam, they are in danger of crashing against the mountain peak of despair. Am I on the beam?


Meditation for the Day


Be expectant. Constantly expect better things. Believe that what God has in store for you is better than anything you ever had before. The way to grow old happily is to expect better things right up to the end of your life and even beyond that. A good life is a growing, expanding life, with ever-widening horizons, an ever-greater circle of friends and acquaintances, and an ever-greater opportunity for usefulness.


Prayer for the Day


I pray that I may await with complete faith for the next good thing in store for me. I pray that I may always keep an expectant attitude toward life.

i've learned,,,not just because people told me so but first hand...that...expectations lead to disappointment.


the only things i can expect today is that by not picking up that first drink, i won't have to deal with the second or third...


that if God brings me to it, he will bring me through it.


that if i work it...it works.


you are Still in my thoughts and prayers Phil.


hugs to you


Wendy
