AN INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT

From my 1880s meditation book: "When we do our work in the great present...we are like to Him with whom there is no past or future...We walk without fear, full of hope and courage and strength to do His will, waiting for the endless good which He is always giving as fast as He can get us able to take it in."

Gratitude

At times my gratitude for being sober is overflowing. Friday night my grandson graduated from high school. He is a great kid, or I should say man, and has chosen not to drink because of the disease of Alcoholism being in the family. I hope he can keep this commitment. I pray for him every day and have for years. One of the things I pray for him is not to have to experience this awful disease. I will continue to pray for him. Anyway, the graduation was wonderful! When he walked down the aisle in his cap and gown I cried tears of gratitude. I am also grateful that I was sober well before he was born and that he never had to experience a Gramy that was drinking and drunk. I am grateful everyday for my sobriety. It is times likes this that my sobriety means even more to me. My Higher Power is awesome!
