Today's Gift
To give and to receive are one in truth.~A Course in Miracles
Giving our love away, honoring someone in need by giving our full attention, will usually bring kindness and concern in return. And unkindness and neglect on our part are likely to result in the same from others. We will usually elicit that which we’ve so thoughtfully or thoughtlessly given.
Not many elements in our life are so fully in our control as how we choose to treat other people. There are few among us who aren’t moved by another’s expression of pure, unconditional love. We are humbled by it and feel valued. We can honor the existence of our fellow travelers by our open, willing love for them, too.
We need to feel appreciated. And yet, to express appreciation is such a simple act, one that has profound effects for all concerned. Acts of kindness multiply very quickly; we contribute to a world favoring our true humanity when we give out loving thoughts even as we receive them.
I will extend the hand of love to a friend today and thus help to make a better world.

Twenty-Four Hours a Day
Keep It Simple
Maybe we were a bit demanding. Maybe we were a bit impatient. Maybe that’s why we such little hope.
Hope is believing good will, even in bad times. Hope is knowing that “this too, shall pass.” Hope is knowing that no mater how afraid we are, our Higher Power will be with us. Hope is knowing we never have to be alone again. It is knowing that time is o our side. Hope is giving up control. Hope is knowing we never had control in the first place. Hope is believing in ourselves. Hope is what our program is all about.
Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, in our program we share our experiences, our strengths, and our hopes. Thank you for giving all three of these to me to share.
Action for the Day: I will share my hope for the future with myself, my Higher Power, and my friends. I also will share this with someone who has lost hope.

One Day At A Time
Language of the Heart
Taking advantage of technological advances, for example, A.A.
members with computers can participate in meetings online,
sharing with fellow alcoholics across the country or around the
world. In any meeting, anywhere, A.A.'s share experience,
strength, and hope with each other, in order to stay sober and
help other alcoholics. Modem-to-modem or face-to-face, A.A.'s
speak the language of the heart in all its power and simplicity.

Daily Motivation
Excerpt of The Daily Motivator
by Ralph Marston
Today will come and go, no matter what you do.
As long as you’re going to go through the day, make it count. Live this day for all it’s worth. Reach a little higher, do a little more, be a little better, shine a little brighter.
You have what it takes to make a difference, in your world today. Seize the chance to do all you can. The things you do today, can have an impact far into the future.
The time will go by, no matter what you do. It is up to you, to make it count. Right in front of you, is a day full of promise, full of hope, full of opportunity. Make that hope your own. Make that opportunity your own. Take this day, and live like you mean it.
