A Wave

““Why me” is a blessing now, instead of a cry of a victim.”

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

Spiritual Experience

Chabad and AA Book Club.org

“The true meaning of a spiritual education is far greater than simply imparting information. An ongoing Spiritual Experience is about clarifying values, character, nurturing ourselves and others to live with accountability to a Higher Power. The Spiritual journey is to live with a deeper meaning, that we may bring the Eternal Light into the world.”

Appendix II Spiritual Experience

Alcoholics Anonymous

“With few exceptions our members find that they have tapped an unsuspected inner resource which they presently identify with their own conception of a Power greater than themselves. Most of us think this awareness of a Power greater than ourselves is the essence of spiritual experience. Our more religious members call it 'God-consciousness.”

Meditation for the Day

Hazelden Foundation

Meditation for the Day “Be calm, be true, be quiet. Do not get emotionally upset by anything that happens around you. Feel a deep, inner security in the goodness and purpose in the universe. Be true to your highest ideals. Do not let yourself slip back into the old ways of reacting. Stick to your spiritual guns. Be calm always. Do not talk back or defend yourself too much against accusation, whether false or true. Accept abuse as well as accept praise. Only God can judge the real you. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may not be upset by the judgment of others. I pray that I may let God be the judge of the real me.”
