I Greet The Indwelling Father Doing the Works.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – The right to expect from one who active member of A.A.’s way of life, sense February 6, 1957? Sobriety is as important as breathing to this 90 year old? Sobriety comes into focus when I am sharing our 12th Step. The part of sobriety and the program I’m focused on depends on the person or meeting I’m sharing with. A.A.’s gifts are far more than just not drinking. Perhaps you expect someone with 63 ½ years of living sobriety should be free from all defects and short-comings. I’ve been assured that will be a reality when I’m 100 years young and 73 ½ years, active in Alcoholics Anonymous. I’ve been thinking about writing a workbook on the Sermon on the Mount. As soon as I made the decision to do it; I became totally obsessed with the idea, and for a while I couldn’t think about of anything else. Thinking and talking about a good deed only delays it. At times, I’m unable to do my daily meditation and other prep-work, due to the useless chatter; a sure sign of the alcoholism “ism.” Once an alcoholic always an alcoholic; having a drink is not a problem, but the “ism” is. Our Father has transformed five of my major defects, to some degree, into assets. When, they popup in any form, it’s an opportunity to grow and awaken, giving me a more purposeful gifts to share. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
