Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – Another Mistake - I have made, too many times and forms, is the belief that to experience the Presence of our Father has to have a feeling. During my prayers and meditation if I didn’t feel something; warm feelings of love and gratitude, I believed I had no contact with our Father. The same misunderstanding about sharing A.A. with others, if I didn’t feel great about my sharing, then I didn’t make a good difference. I must not be doing “it right." Another mistake I made this morning; I ask Google what’s the difference between emotions and feelings. I came away with the realization that I need to leave the chicken and the egg question up to the experts. Ex – is a has-been and a pert – is a little drip of water under pressure. I do know the difference between the feelings of love and not love, for now that’s enough. I can still do an act of love, and not wait around for a good feeling. Instinctual “love” could be a Thirteenth Step feeling. That’s best left to the Ex-Pert or one may become an EX. Intuitive Love comes directly by grace from our Father; one of Alcoholics Anonymous’ promises. While feelings of love are subjective let’s share all the love we can, anyway we can. The real mistake is not to love, for any reason, anytime, after all our Creator is Love, and so are we. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
