I greet The Indwelling Lost And Found.
Today’ “Pay Forward” gift is - Finding What Is Not Lost. I spent years looking in all the wrong places trying to find my created self, to no avail. When I stop my internal chatter and listen, I am reminded of the wisdom found in Alcoholics Anonymous. “…we beg of you to be fearless and thorough…” “Half measures availed us nothing.” “How It Works” is read at most A.A. meetings, it’s a good idea to stop, look and listen. “The only reason man is limited is that he has not allowed the Divine within him to more completely express” Ernest Holmes. Alcohol got me ready to do whatever it was to take. By the grace of our Father, I found my way to Alcoholics Anonymous. When I sought sobriety with all my whole heart, mind and soul, I found A.A., which wasn’t lost. I am seeking through prayer and meditation to deepen my relationship with our Father, Who has never been lost. Alcoholics Anonymous gives me the tools; I need to get out-of-the-way and to be still, to learn, and to awaken. “You shall seek the Lord, your God, and you shall indeed find Him when you search after Him with all your heart and with all your soul" (Deuteronomy 4:29). I am inspired by angels running around A.A. in disguise as sober alcoholics. Alcoholics Anonymous is my lost and found Location. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
