Grateful for another day to make a positive difference in this world however small that maybe!

Grateful for being able to lighten up! Life's pretty much an " On the surface " thing. It's here and now! Thank you God!

Grateful for the help from the many folks in this program with learning about Step 3 "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him." amazing truth! No closing of our work location this year, remain focused on taking care of what needs to be taken care of in each moment and, leaving the rest in God's hands!

A day at a time, life becomes what it its supposed to be. We learn what a Higher Power is for us today, maybe not the same as the classes when we were young, but that is OK, because this one is for today. The time that matters. Have a Splendid Day.

I am grateful to be sober today, have a home to live in, not a basement or on the street, life has definitely changed by the power of the fellowship and a loving God. Be Grateful. Peace to all. Live the program it works. Schell08122008

Chitown, thanks for reminding me that when I am grateful for what is, there's no time to regret the past or worry about the future.

My sponsor and spiritual advisor kept repeating to me. "Where is your gratitude? A grateful alcoholic/addict will never have a reason to pick up. He/She may have a lot of excuses but no reason to every pick up again if he is grateful for being sober.

Also told me that sobriety meant soundness of mind. I am grateful that I found it through working the Steps.

[Chitown]

Grateful a Power greater than myself, cares,,,, just gotta get out his way long enough to, see it!!

Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Matthew 22:37-39

A Time to Think
Go out into the world today and love the people you meet. Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people.—Mother Teresa
A Time to Act
Allow yourself to be loved and to love all that you meet.
A Time to Pray
Lord, may Your eyes look down upon our lives, loves and labors with joy.:281:

[Chitown]

Thanks Saved1!; Love this one too,, Believe its why we are all here on Earth;
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen.
~ Prayer of saint Francis of Assisi

My brother lost his job today, he worked for good will for many years, Am loosing mine now early 2012; am Grateful to God for
my sobriety because, with what ever time is left before the job is gone, was able to send him a money gram to hold him and his wife and kids over. it's the little things in
life that matter; am Grateful today that God's shown me, it's really not about me it's about others...

[captpaulge]

I pray that things happen for good reason and that there are better things ahead for all of us.

my first sponsor (may he RIP) always said "it's pretty hard to pour a drink into a cup full of gratitude!" :281:

[yukonm]

Sorry to hear about your brother losing his job but rejoicing that you are in a position to help. Hang in there, my friend. :42:

[Chitown]

What I am truly grateful for is; The " Cup " is never ever full! Thank the creature for all of you.
