New Addition

I am trying something different this year.  I am featuring Each Day a New Beginning-Daily Meditations by Karen Casey. While I received this book through Alcoholics Anonymous it sums up lifes daily trials and tribulations.  I view it as a beautiful blueprint for living life to the fullest!  I may write a little quip of my interpretation or how it relates to me.  I welcome your interpretation and comments as well.  The way I see it, this can be a forum of our interpretations of the Daily Meditation and we can all help one another!  What are your thoughts???

We don't always understand the ways of Almighty God--the crosses sent us, the sacrifices demanded...But we accept with faith and resignation the holy will with no looking back, and we are at peace.  -Anonymous

 

Acceptance of our past, acceptance of the conditions presently in our lives that we cannot change, brings relief.  It brings the peacefulness we so often, so frantically, seek.

 

We can put the past behind us.  Each day is a new beginning.  And each day of abstinence offers us the chance to look ahead with hope.  A power greater than ourselves helped us to find this program.  That power is ever with us.  When we fear facing new situations, or when familiar situations turn sour, we can look to that power for help in saying what needs to be said and for doing what needs to be done.  Our higher power is as close as our breath.  Conscious awareness of its presence strengthens us, moment by moment.

The past is gone.  Today is full of possiblities.  With each breath I will be aware of the strenght at hand.
