AA Thought for the Day

September 8, 2002

Acceptance

Acceptance is the key to my relationship with God today.
I never just sit and do nothing while waiting for Him
to tell me what to do.
Rather, I do whatever is in front of me to be done,
and I leave the results up to Him;
however it turns out, that's God's will for me.
I must keep my magic magnifying mind on my acceptance
and off my expectations,
for my serenity is directly proportional
to my level of acceptance.
When I remember this, I can see I've never had it so good.
Thank God for AA!

Thought to Ponder....

Acceptance does not mean that I have to agree,
I don't have to approve, I don't even have to like it.
I just have to accept.
