Saturday 12/13 - JUST FOR TODAY!

"JUST FOR TODAY"

JUST FOR TODAY
I rode my cycle early this morning into town to the gym. As I rode I was able to talk with God about how I intended to appreciate every single moment of this precious, glorious day. I was able to ask in faith for God to help me do just that.

JUST FOR TODAY
I was given the opportunity to pray again for a young woman with a small child who I had prayed for in the past who had cancer. She had been treated and declared cancer free. Today she was informed she has cancer in another part of her body.

JUST FOR TODAY

I can sit in a large Alcoholics Anonymous meeting hall alone, waiting for a sponsee to join me, without feeling like an alien dropped into the place from another planet. I could sit comfortably - feeling at ease.

JUST FOR TODAY

I can enjoy a hospital volunteer luncheon held at a local Country Club. I went not alone, but with a sponsee who is also a friend and a hospital volunteer. We had fun and fellowship.


JUST FOR TODAY

I can blog what my heart and mind dictate without worrying who will read it and who won't or how many or few comments will be left. I can leave it all to God.


JUST FOR TODAY

I don't have to judge or criticize myself or anyone else. I can, with God's help, love myself and others unconditionally.


JUST FOR TODAY
I can make a decision to place God first in my consciousness. I can ask God to direct my thoughts and actions. I can ask Him for the intuitive thought that will allow me to better serve Him and be of use to others.


JUST FOR TODAY

I am able to enjoy my day despite having a sleepless night last night. I was able to luxuriate between new, crisp, clean sheets I just bought for an hour nap.

JUST FOR TODAY

I am alive, having been reprieved from an alcoholic death, in order to "pass it on".


JUST FOR TODAY

I am Prayer Girl and I know that prayer is a most powerful force.

Sitting and feeling at ease. Now isn't that just the epitome of the programme in action. Thanks for the post and for tagging me and have a good day.

I am filled with peace as I am reading your blog this afternoon, for all you said, I could also feel and relate, and for me best of all was this, "I am alive, having been reprieved from an alcoholic death, in order to "pass it on". -AMEN!
Have a great day today
