AA Thought for the Day

Meditation

What I do in meetings is called listening.
When I listen alone with God,
it is called meditating. . .
Whatever I learn during meditation
applies to me in my life,
not necessarily to anyone else.
The messages are usually what I need to hear
at a particular time, whether I agree or not.
For example:
Help yourself by helping someone else first.
When in doubt, be silent.
Grow where you are planted.

Thought to Ponder....

Stillness is a jewel with many facets;
that stillness is also joy, and it is love.
