In God's Hands

[caressa]

When we look back, we realize that the things which came to us when we put ourselves in God's hands were better than anything we could have planned.

Got this from As Bill Sees It* today and it is something that expresses how I have been feeling. There is nothing I can do, other than do the do things each day, put turn things over and leave them in His Hands.

I need to eat properly. I need to get my rest. I need to do my meditation and prayers. I need to meet my daily commitments both in my home and on the internet.

Many years ago, I put my life into God's Hands. I didn't know what my purpose was. I questioned my reason for being. The answer I got was, "Carry the message to the message of recovery to those who still suffer."

So unless He changes His mind, I will be here!

* Never knew that the book was called "The AA Way of Life." It just goes to show how we can be so selective in our vision, hearing, and choices and are often unable to see the whole picture. Every time I open a book, I see something new. The news never becomes old!

Just posted in ACoA, if God leads you to it, He will see you through it.

Life is so much better since I came into recovery. The 12 Steps are a living program and a way of life. They aren't a one time deal, do them once and they are a done deal.

Just the other day, I was thinking, "I am so grateful that the story never grows old." The words are just as true in today as when these were written.

Don't leave before the miracle happens.
