AA Thought for the Day

A Lesson

This, then, became the opening to the spiritual world.
With the guidance of the program
and the encouragement and examples within the Fellowship,
I could begin to find out about myself
and be prepared to accept what I found.
I learned in the Fellowship that if others could accept me
and love me as I was, then I should love myself as I was --
not for what I was, but for what I could become.
So I have learned a little about my mind and about my will
and about my emotions and passions.

Thought to Ponder....

In the depth of winter,
I finally learned that there was in me
an invincible summer.
