Apparently they are not the ones who died in Arizona. Anyway, GOD bless them all.
I went to the Al-Anon Women Only meeting last night. Again, it's so crowded there are not enough chairs. A couple of women sat on the floor. Jeesh. How would it feel to have that many Hispanics attend the Saturday Spanish meeting???? It's all a GOD thing and on GOD's time. I definitely feel humble. I just keep showing up.
Yesterday I received a call from one of my recovered friends and she said I'm invited to attend AA in prison. A Texas prison. On the 27th. What a privilege. I put this in GOD's Hands. If I can be of service...
Day by Day, "We can spare ourselves unnecessary heartaches if we carry our experience to the meetings for feedback."
Daily Reflections, p.19, "...learn of GOD's love for me only by the experience of my dependence on that love."
One Day at a Time in Al-Anon, p.185, "'The only difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is in how you use them.'" ...nobody can put stumbling blocks in my way, because I'm learning how to use them to step on as I progress to a saner way of living...can refuse to let them block my path...can imagine each is one of the 12 Steps...Obstacles cannot keep me from finding the good in my life and following where it leads. Nothing can get in the way of this---unless I let it...action: to change my view of myself and the world I am creating around me." A quote from Tennyson, "...men may rise on stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things."
Courage to Change, p.185. "I do not know what is better for other people." A quote from Living with Sobriety, "When I stopped dwelling on how things would probably work out, I was better able to pay attention to what I was doing."
Hope for Today, p.185, "...I do my best to focus on sharing the positive rather than the negative."
As We Understood, p.242, "This quality of life and mental health are contingent upon my maintaining a fit spiritual condition and sharing my program with others."
In All Our Affairs, p.171, "...taught me: the knowledge that I have choices...helped me focus my attention on what I could do about my situation, instead of concentrating all my attention on what I thought the alcoholic should do. I was the one who had to take a stand."
Dear Lord GOD Almighty Creator, how truly great Thou art! Your Power, Compassion, Wisdom., Love and Grace rule mightily. Thank YOU so much for the abundance of blessings YOU bestow on us all. Thank YOU for the gift of Life and the Present. Lord, I pray only for knowledge of YOUR Will and the courage, strength, wisdom and the Willingness to Accept and To Do It. As YOU Will. Love, Carol
