I greet The Indwelling Restorer.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is - Restoring. “Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad" (Anonymous Ancient Proverb). Thanks to our Father we have a solution; Step Two – “Came to believe that a Power Greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” Could, is an important word for me to remember, because I have fallen into an insanity ditch. Not the kind of insanity that calls for medication, just the common insanity we experience in recovery. I am in need of spiritual restoration. I’ve overreacted to what others think and do. I’m not extending the love I want, but demanding others love me. I want and need tender mercy and forgiveness. Have I forgotten that I must give away what I want or to keep? Everything was a God thing while I lived a Spiritual child-like innocence. The incredible earthworm could have been my role model. My motto: I can swallow anything you throw at me, turn it into fertilizer, and make it a growth experience. I was reminded in one of my readings, of our Fathers ever-present help. I know I have the A.A. tools to accept His help and live it, here and now. Father, I place my total being into Your Hands. I remember it’s you, Father who is my only real solution. I let go of my illusionary burden; making myself available for service. Now, I intuitively know our Father is restoring me to sanity. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
