AA Thought for the Day

August 27, 2002

Reconstruction

Yes, there is a long period of reconstruction ahead.
We must take the lead.
A remorseful mumbling that we are sorry
won't fill the bill at all.
We ought to sit down with the family
and frankly analyze the past as we now see it,
being very careful not to criticize them.
Their defects may be glaring,
but the chances are that our own actions
are partly responsible.
So we clean house with the family,
asking each morning in meditation
that our Creator show us the way of patience,
tolerance, kindliness and love.

Thought to Ponder....

If you love someone, tell them now.
Eternity is time enough for silence.
