Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Today's thought from Hazelden is:We don't always understand the ways of Almighty God - the crosses sent us, the sacrifices demanded . . . But we accept with faith and resignation the holy will with no looking back, and we are at peace.--AnonymousAcceptance of our past, acceptance of the conditions presently in our lives that we cannot change, brings relief. It brings the peacefulness we so often, so frantically, seek.We can put the past behind us. Each day is a new beginning. And each day of abstinence offers us the chance to look ahead with hope. A power greater than ourselves helped us to find this program. That power is ever with us. When we fear facing new situations, or when familiar situations turn sour, we can look to that power for help in saying what needs to be said and for doing what needs to be done. Our higher power is as close as our breath. Conscious awareness of its presence strengthens us, moment by moment.The past is gone. Today is full of possibilities. With each breath I will be aware of the strength at hand. You are reading from the book: Each Day a New Beginning by Casey Each Day a New Beginning by Casey.
