AA Thought for the Day

September 12, 2002

Reaching Out

I feel myself a useful member of the human race at last.
I have something to contribute to humanity,
since I am peculiarly qualified, as a fellow-sufferer,
to give aid and comfort to those who have
stumbled and fallen over this business of meeting life.
I get my greatest thrill from the knowledge
that I have played a part in the new happiness
achieved by countless others like myself. . .
I can say many times daily,
"Thy will be done, not mine" ... and mean it.

Thought to Ponder....

There is a calmness to a life lived in Gratitude, a quiet joy.
