We become what we do!

A Day At A Time

Reflection For The Day

It has truly been said that “We become what we do.” It’s emphasized to us over and over in The Program that our thoughts and actions toward others color and shape our spiritual lives. Words and acts of kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness and forgiveness serve to strengthen those qualities within us that heighten our consciousness of God’s love. In asking God to direct and guide my life, am I also asking love to take over and lead me where it will?

Today I Pray

May I make a resolute attempt at acting out the way I want to be — loving, forgiving, kind, thoughtful. May I be aware that each small, attentive act carries with it an echo of God’s all-caring. For God so loved the world; may we make His love our example.

Today I Will Remember

We become what we do.

God made the world before He made man.  That is why I think the animals and rocks, and all of Creation, have a story to tell and can help us in recovery.  Like the Amethyst is good for those who are detoxing.  Holding a little piece of the Earth in my hands, helps me to be grounded and know that our God give me exactly what I need to work the Step I am on.

What comes to mind, is saying hello to a girl who had gone to the Women's Discussion Group, and she said, "I know you. You are that Spiritual lady." It was good for me to have someone see me that way.

I often handle out crystals as worry stones to newcomers. A guy called me the Stone Lady. He brought in a guy who had relapsed and had gotten into heroin. He was in bad shape and the guy came for a stone for the guy he had brought to an AA meeting. The last time I saw that man, he was still sober.
