AA Thought for the Day

March 12, 2002

Cheerful

We are sure God wants us to be happy, joyous, and free.
We cannot subscribe to the belief
that this life is a vale of tears,
though it once was just that for many of us.
But it is clear that we made our own misery.
God didn't do it.
Avoid then, the deliberate manufacture of misery,
but if trouble comes, cheerfully capitalize it
as an opportunity to demonstrate His omnipotence.

We aren't a glum lot.
