Today's Thought

A.A. Thought for the Day
Unless we have the key of faith to unlock the meaning of life, we are lost. We do not choose faith because it is one way for us, but because it is the only way. Many have failed and will fail. For we cannot live victoriously without faith; we are at sea without a rudder or an anchor, drifting on the sea of life. Wayfarers without a home. Our souls are restless until they find rest in God. Without faith, our lives are a meaningless succession of unrelated happenings, without rhyme or reason. Have I come to rest in faith?
Meditation for the Day
This vast universe around us, including this wonderful earth on which we live, was once perhaps only a thought in the mind of God. The nearer the astronomers and the physicists get to the ultimate composition of all things, the nearer the universe approaches a mathematical formula, which is thought. The universe may be the thought of the Great Thinker. We must try to think God's thoughts after Him. We must try to get guidance from the Divine Mind as to what His intention is for the world and what part we can have in carrying out that intention.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may not worry over the limitations of my human mind. I pray that I may live as though my mind were a reflection of the Divine Mind.

This reading was ine I needed to hear today. With faith all things are possible.....or at least that is what I keep getting told anyway. I am praying for the willingness to rely on that faith right now. It's easy to say I'm relying on faith when things are great, but it gets harder when there are bumps in the road. My mind is full of limitations and the secret is to get beyind my mind. My mind is what landed my butt in a seat at Alcoholics Anonymous and it is my Higher Power that freed me from that hell. So I am reading that little note I wrote myself that hangs on my mirror..."Rex, this is God, I don't need your help today, but thanks for asking." His will today...not mine.....arrrrg.

I love that, God saying he won't be needing our help today. I have to remind myself of that.
limitations are interesting thoughts aren't they..for some reason we always find ways of making reasons for things that cannot be rather than things that can indeed be.We are learning though right?I believe .I let go
when I find too much doubt about something with in me..I love your blog Rex..you always serve just the right amount of honesty and insight.Thanks for sharing :)
Actually I think it was your HP who lovingly landed your butt in AA and I'm sure glad he did, cuz I get to know you!
Its gonna be ok....
I've enjoyed reading your posts and the pictures are breathtaking. I wrote in my BB what was pointed out in a previous post about there not being a "thinking" or "feeling" chapter, only "action". Its kinda of like where it says "these are the steps we took", not "these are the steps we read and talked about".
Would you mind if I link you to my blog?
Good reminder.
Greeting and Happy Monday from Malaysia.
"But thanks for asking." That's hysterical!
As usual, great post :)
I am re-discovering this Faith and I confess it is so powerful!
What a perfect note to self. I love it.
I often am a little suprised that God does not need my help but, he doen't
I love the part---thanks for asking--- Geez its so hard to hand over the illusion of control some days
Faith for me is the only way---its just no longer a choice
I love that part when God says but thanks for asking! What a hoot!
Its so hard some days to hand over my illuision of control
Faith is the only choice now,
