AA Thought for the Day

November 19, 2004

Humility

Perpetual quietness of heart.
It is to have no trouble.
It is never to be fretted or vexed, irritable or sore;
to wonder at nothing that is done to me,
to feel nothing done against me.
It is to be at rest when nobody praises me,
and when I am blamed or despised,
to have a blessed home in myself where I can go in
and shut the door and kneel to my Father in secret
and be at peace, as in a deep sea of calmness,
when all around and about is seeming trouble.
- from a plaque on Dr. Bob's desk.
