AA Thought for the Day

August 22, 2002

Security

It became clear that if we ever were to feel
emotionally secure among grown-up people,
we would have to put our lives
on a give-and-take basis;
we would have to develop the sense
of being in partnership or brotherhood
with all those around us.
We saw that we would need to give constantly of ourselves
without demands for repayment.
When we persistently did this
we gradually found that people were attracted to us
as never before.

Thought to Ponder....

Blessed are those who can give without remembering
and receive without forgetting.
