AA Thought for the Day

A Thankful Heart

One exercise that I practice
is to try for a full inventory of my blessings
and then for a right acceptance
of the many gifts that are mine --
both temporal and spiritual. . .
I try to hold fast to the truth that a full and thankful heart
cannot entertain great conceits.
When brimming with gratitude,
one's heartbeat must surely result in outgoing love,
the finest emotion that we can ever know.

Thought to Ponder....

I am grateful for this minute.
My eternity may be in it.
