July 11, 2018 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Wednesday, July 11, 2018
Today’s thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

AA Thought for the Day
In Alcoholics Anonymous there is no thought of individual profit. No greed or gain. No membership fees, no dues. All that we hope for is sobriety and regeneration, so that we can live normal, respectable lives. These things we accomplish by the help of each other, by following the Twelve Steps, and by the grace of God.

Am I willing to work for AA without material gain to myself?

Meditation for the Day
What is sometimes called a conversion by religion is often only the discovery of God as a friend in need. What is sometimes called religion is often only the experiencing of the help and strength of God’s power. What is sometimes called holiness is often only the invitation of God to be a Friend.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may think of God as a Great Friend in need.
