AA Thought for the Day:
Everyone has two personalities, a good and a bad. We are all dual personalities to some extent. When we were drinking, the bad personality was in control. We did things when we were drunk that we would never do when we were sober. When we sober up, we are different people. Then we wonder how we could have done the things we did. But we drink again, and again our bad side comes out. So we are back and forth, always in conflict with our other selves, always in a stew. This division of our selves is not good; we must somehow become unified. We do this by giving ourselves wholeheartedly to AA and to sobriety. Have I become unified?
Meditation for the Day:
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of thy Lord.” These words are for many people, including those we would often too easily pass by. There are many quiet followers who serve God unobtrusively and faithfully, who bear their crosses bravely and put a smiling face to the world. “Enter into the joy of thy Lord.” Pass into that fuller spiritual life, which is a life of joy and peace.
Prayer for the Day:
I pray that I may not desire the world’s applause. I pray that I may not seek rewards for doing what I believe is right.
