Thought for the Day

The thoughts that come before having a slip seem to be partly subconscious.
And yet it is likely that at least part of these thoughts get into our consciousness.
An idle thought connected with drinking casually pops into our mind.
That is the crucial moment.
Will I harbor that thought even for one minute or will I banish it from my mind at once? If I let it stay, it may develop into a daydream.
I may begin to see a cool glass of beer or a Manhattan cocktail in my mind's eye.
If I allow the daydream to stay in my mind, it may lead to a decision, however unconscious, to take a drink.
Then I am headed for a slip.
Do I let myself daydream?

Meditation for the Day

Many of us have a sort of vision of the kind of person God wants us to be.
We must be true to that vision, whatever it is, and we must try to live up to it, by living the way we believe we should live.
We can all believe that God has a vision of what he wants us to be like.
In all people there is a good person, which God sees in us, the person we could be and that God would like us to be.
But many a person fails to fulfill that promise and God's disappointments must be many.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may strive to be the kind of a person that God would have me be.
I pray that I may try to fulfill God's vision of what I could be.
