AA Thought for the Day

January 22, 2005

Mix-up

Among AA's there is still a vast amount of mix-up
respecting what is material and what is spiritual.
I prefer to believe that it is all a matter of motive.
If we use our worldly possessions too selfishly,
then we are materialists.
But if we share these possessions in helpfulness to others,
then the material aids the spiritual.

Thought to Ponder....

How we treat others is a consequence
of the depth of our own spirituality.
