Jan. 28, 2014 – Step by Step

 Step by Step

Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2014 

Today, at day’s end, I will look back on this day and know by the grace of God that I did the best I could in all my affairs. If, in prayer and meditation, I find that I have not fully surrendered to my Higher Power some problem or character defect, I will know I have asked my HP for the wisdom and humility to surrender it once and for all and that, if there is a tomorrow for me, I may be one day closer to that total surrender. I will not have reason, at day’s end, to regret some communication with someone else because I was either cruel or indifferent to their needs or feelings. I will be grateful that, throughout this day, I will not have had a "temptation" to take the first drink that always leads to disaster, and I will go to sleep tonight with the comfort that my Higher Power on this day blessed me with the words, "Well done, my child." And our common journey continues. Step by step. – Chris M., 2014
