AA Thought for the Day

Neither our literature nor the most enlightened of old-timers
can fully explain or define the meaning of "forgiveness,"
the powerful concept at the heart of the Eighth Step.
Like everything else in our program of Alcoholics Anonymous,
forgiveness has entered my life through my heart and not my mind.
To this day, I find Eighth Step meetings particularly poignant . . .
There's no room for posturing as we speak up about our recklessness,
self-centeredness, dishonesty, lost or soured marriages and families,
and violence of various kinds . . .
As a group we are at our most human in those Eighth Step evenings.
And we seem to be held most closely by the Higher Power.

Thought to Ponder....

Forgiveness is the final form of love.
