AA Thought for the Day

February 24, 2005

Service

While practicing service to others,
if my successes give rise to grandiosity,
I must reflect on what brought me to this point.
What has been given joyfully, with love,
must be passed on without reservation
and without expectation.
For as I grow,
I find that no matter how much I give with love,
I receive much more in spirit.
