AA Thought for the Day

July 3, 2005

Gifts

This is the crux of the program and the crux of living:
acceptance and action.
The gift of understanding has allowed the simple messages
from my parents, my teachers, and my church
to take on new meaning and soundness.
With the gift of serenity, I am ready and willing
to accept what God permits to happen to me;
with the gift of courage,
to take action to change the things I can
for the good of myself and others.
The gift of wisdom has been given to me
so that I may act intelligently and with love,
competence, and compassion.
