I greet The Indwelling Presence.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – Rule 62. One of my readings this morning was from Tradition Four in Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions about Rule 62 “Don’t take yourself too damn seriously.” However, live the Program as if everything depended on it. The effectiveness of our living the Program depends on our Source. If our Father is our one Source, there is no need to take ourselves too seriously; this morning I did. I think I left my backup chip at the office; I hope so. I'd better return to our Boss and remind myself I cannot lose anything that belongs to me by right of consciousness. “A.A’s Twelve Steps are a group of principles, spiritual in their nature, which, if practice as a way of life, can expel the obsession to drink and enable the sufferer to become happily and usefully whole.” Being, fulfilled, joyous, happy and free is to be the individual we were created as. I may add if we are not enjoying our A.A. way of life, we are doing something wrong, or we have not been doing it long enough. Our business is to bring our whole nature into conformity with the Love and Will of our Father. What would I do differently if I could do it over? I would ask more of our Father, more of the Program and more of myself, sooner, and not take myself too seriously. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
