A Wave

August 26, 2025

“I had a lot of growing up to do, and still do.”

Three readings. A song that says the rest. And inspiration for whatever this day is here to teach.

Read — the readings that opened the day

Today’s Gift

“Fixing everything is not our job. Yet, we can help heal the part of the world where we live. We wake up spiritually. "Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs." We try to carry the message of hope. What principles? First, please help me have some Faith.

Twenty-Four Hours a Day

Meditation for the Day The laws of nature cannot be changed and must be obeyed if you are to stay healthy. We learn to submit to the laws of nature or they will finally break us. The moral and spiritual laws of God, like the laws of nature, are unbreakable without some disaster. If we are dishonest, impure, selfish & unloving, we will not be living according to the laws of the spirit and will suffer the consequences. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may submit to the laws of nature and to the laws of God. I pray that I may live in harmony with all the laws of life.”
