Gratitude – Beyond Words “Pay Forward” Gift # 216

I Greet The Indwelling Gratifier.

Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – Gratitude – Beyond Words.  I cannot make myself experience the real depth of love it comes by grace only, although I do acts of love daily; I don’t always feel loving.  I am blessed with all I need to pass on the gifts I have been freely given, and the people to share with, daily.  I can make a long list of all I am grateful for, but, I cannot experience a deep gratitude.  Like love at its deepest level I only have it by grace.  This miracle of grace is for all who are breathing, no matter what.  I shall try the impossible today; I shall try to share the depth of my love and gratitude for these sixty-three and a half years as an active A.A. member.  I have witnessed thousands of miraculous awakenings including my own; being released from our self-imposed hell.  Only by grace can an undeserving alcoholic such as me have a life of abundance, beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of.  Emmet Fox suggested that we ask for guidance and then open the Bible at random.  I opened It at the 21st chapter of Luke; I understood it was an explanation for the transformation journey I was on.  Luke 21:14-15 show me how to prepare to share - “Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate before what you shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom…”  Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
