AA Thought for the Day

Understanding
None of us has to understand God or worry about things beyond our control.
We can indulge ourselves in the luxury of not-worrying. Any of us can handle just one day;
all each of us has to try at is our own job, our own family life. We don't have to try fixing up the whole world
or understanding what no theologian of any faith has ever understood. We simply stop messing in God's business.
And in my opinion, when we stop messing and stop worrying,
we have turned our will and our lives over to God (or Good) as we understand (or don't understand) Him.

Thought to Ponder . . .
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't,
than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
