Word Choice

Choose your words...

Words can either heal, help, or hurt, depending on how we choose to use them. 

One of the things we can't recall, rewind, or take back are the words that come flying from our mouths fueled by fear, anger, or other emotions of the moment. 

I have learned painfully over the years that it's best for me to not let the emotions of the moment inside of me fuel my words. 

I have found that when, instead of letting my emotions of the moment lead the charge of my “verbal vomit”,..

I quietly give the words to God and let the Holy Spirit guide my emotions and quiet my will, so that I can use better words for the situation...

"Patience, tolerance, understanding and love are the watchwords." Big Book pg. 118 

Lord let the words we choose be fueled with love, kindness, and encouragement, AMEN.

Getting What We Give

We get out of it what we put into it...

Here is a twist of thinking I learned long ago that has not only helped me to grow as a person, and as God's kid, but also has helped me to be more in tune to the needs of others. 

It’s very simple. Instead of seeing what I can get from every interaction I have with people, places, and things, I see what I can bring to it. 

The feeling is amazing and the outcome is usually better than I expect, plus I have gotten to know people on a deeper level! 

It changed my perspective and now instead of having expectations of how I think things should go, I now have blessed peace just looking to see how I can help. 

 Go on, give it a try and as always....

"But be sure you are on solid spiritual ground before you start and that your motive in going is thoroughly good. Do not think of what you will get out of the occasion. Think of what you can bring to it." Big Book pg. 102

Lord, let us see what we can bring to a situation instead of always looking to see what we can get from it, AMEN.  

"Here is a simple, rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them.” Matthew 7:12 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Charity Starts at Home

Charity begins at home...

This is one of the best thought tools I have come to rely on over the years. 

The version I learned was phrased like this; 

"You can’t keep it unless you give it away." 

It's an action thought that has never failed me since I began my walk with Christ and in sobriety. 

Unless I am willing to help another, I am not in a true position to spiritually receive the gifts the Lord blesses me with. 

Now this doesn't mean we should give away everything we have, or start a crusade to end world homelessness, but ..

It does mean that each day we should open the eyes of our hearts to see how we can best be of service to someone around us...

"Helping others is the foundation stone" Big Book pg. 97

 Lord, please open the eyes of our heart daily to see how we can best serve another, AMEN. 

 "…that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27
