AA Thought for the Day

April 2, 2003

Hope

Hopelessness has been replaced by abundant hope
and sincere faith.
The people of Alcoholics Anonymous
have provided a haven where, if I remain aware
and keep my mind quiet enough,
my Higher Power leads me to amazing realizations.
I find joy in my daily life, in being of service,
in simply being. . .
The things that I have learned from my own experience,
from the Big Book, and from my friends in AA
-- patience, acceptance, honesty, humility,
and true faith in a Power greater than myself --
are the tools I use today to live my life,
this precious life.

Thought to Ponder....

Hope sees the invisible,
feels the intangible,
and achieves the impossible.
