“Thanks for a roadmap that leads to hope.”

“I was not too well at the time, and was plagued by waves of self-pity and resentment. This sometimes nearly drove me back to drink, but I soon found that when all other measures failed, work with another alcoholic would save the day. Many times I have gone to my old hospital in despair. On talking to a man there, I would be amazingly lifted up and set on my feet. It is a design for living that works in rough going.”

“One day, you will get a glimpse of God in a magnificent cloud formation; then, in the beauty of a painting or a piece of classical music that touches you; in the power of the waves that crash at your feet at the seashore. Soon, you will come to see that God is everywhere. Once we direct our consciousness to look for God, we discover that everything is God! Today, let's look for God in all our comings and goings. If we will only look, we can see God's handiwork in everything & everyone, including ourselves."

Meditation for the Day The world wonders when it sees a person who can unexpectedly draw large and unsuspected sums from the bank for some emergency. But what the world has not seen are the countless small sums paid into that bank, earned by faithful work over a long time. And so is the bank of the Spirit. The world sees the person of faith make a demand on God's stores of power and the demand is met. The world does not see what that person has been putting in, in thanks & praise, in prayer & communion, in small, good deeds done faithfully, steadily over the years. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may keep making deposits in God's bank. I pray that in my hour of need, I may call upon these, and ride the waves to happy destiny!”
