Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Today's thought from Hazelden is:THOUGHT FOR THE DAYSince I've been in this program, I have made a start toward being unselfish. I no longer want my own way in everything. When things go wrong and I can't have what I want, I no longer sulk. I am trying not to waste money on myself. And it makes me happy to see my mate with more money and also more for the children. It is very hard to resist the urge to think of myself first and foremost. How hard it is to lose that feeling, which was almost a religion before I turned my problems over to my Higher Power. Am I trying to be unselfish?MEDITATION FOR THE DAYEach day is a day of progress, if you make it so. You may not see it, but your Higher Power does. Though you may feel that your work has been spoiled or tarnished. God sees it as an offering. When climbing a steep hill, you are often more conscious of the weakness of your stumbling feet than of the view, the grandeur, or even of the upward progress.PRAYER FOR THE DAYI pray that I may persevere in all good things. I pray that I may advance each day in spite of my stumbling feet. You are reading from the book: Look to this Day by Alan L. Roeck Look to this Day by Alan L. Roeck.
