The Day Dawns Bright.....

Things change, life goes on, but God has a plan for us all. A spiritual base and many friends have helped in leading up to this day. Spiritual growth sometimes comes from hard lessons but I believe what in AA are known as "The Promises"....

If we are painstaking about this phase of our spiritual development, we will be amazed before we are half way through.
  • We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.

  • We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.

  • We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.

  • No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.

  • That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.

  • We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.

  • Self-seeking will slip away.

  • Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.

  • Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.

  • We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.

  • We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
  • God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves. It's amazing how that works isn't it? Thanks God.

    Today's cost of obeying God's will for me: Unfathomable heartache, $275 and time served.
