AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)

November 25, 2014

Humility
Perpetual quietness of heart.  It is to have no trouble.  It is never to be fretted or vexed, irritable or sore;
to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me.
It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised,
it is to have a blessed home in myself where I can go in and kneel to my Father in secret and be at peace,
as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and about is seeming trouble.
- Dr. Bob and the Good Oldtimers, p. 222

Thought to Ponder . . .
Many people haven't even a nodding acquaintance with humility as a way of life.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = Always Aware.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
