I greet The Indwelling Reprieve.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is - Daily Reprieve. “What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition" (Alcoholics Anonymous page 85). This maintenance is to change our choices, actions and character to conform to a way of life that works, in other words, to “practice these principles in all our affairs." Alcoholics Anonymous has given us the tools needed to follow a Spiritual journey, to do and to be our Father’s Love and Will. It is an overstatement to say, “Practice makes perfect,” but to seek through prayer and meditation daily to improve our conscious contact with our Father is a very good idea; a great investment. Each day is a new beginning. We can rethink our past and look with great expectations for things to come, if we choose. A new day reminds us that we have a chance to start anew. Let us “Pay Forward” by practicing the Spiritual Principles we already have, encouraging others by our example. Daily living Spiritual Principles develops our Spiritual Condition, affecting our whole being. There is nothing like a peaceful, compassionate love-filled heart and mind to turn others on. “Any good thing I can do, or any kindness that I can show, to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it, or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again” The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
