Thought for the Day

I no longer waste money, but try to put it to good use.
Like all of us, when I was drunk, I threw money around like I really had it.
It gave me a feeling of importance - a millionaire for a day.
But the morning after, with an empty wallet and perhaps also some undecipherable checks, was a sad awakening.
How could I have been such a fool? How will I ever make it up?
Thoughts like these get you down.
When we are sober, we spend our hard-earned money as it should be spent. Although perhaps some of us could be more generous in our A.A. giving, at least we do not throw it away.
Am I making good use of my money?

Meditation for the Day
You were meant to be at home and comfortable in the world.
Yet some people live a life of quiet desperation.
This is the opposite of being at home and at peace in the world.
Let your peace of mind be evident to those around you.
Let others see that you are comfortable, and seeing it, know that it springs from your trust in a Higher Power.
The dull, hard way of resignation is not God's way.
Faith takes the sting out of the winds of adversity and brings peace even in the midst of struggle.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may be more comfortable in my way of living.
I pray that I may feel more at home and at peace within myself.
