Thought of the Day
"Working with others is only the beginning of service work."
––––=––––
As we start the New Year in recovery now.
We are grateful for the fact that we took Step 1 of the program.
Through living the program, we've attained some stability in our lives.
Our faith in a Higher Power has grown.
Our individual spiritual awakening is progressing comfortably.
So now what? Do we simply sit still and enjoy?
Of course not. We find a way to be of service.
We look for ways to help others as others have helped us.
In fact, we can find opportunities to be of service in nearly every area of our lives.
Our jobs are a form of service to our communities, no matter what our occupation.
The work we do in our homes serves our families.
Perhaps we do volunteer work in our communities.
What a difference our service efforts make!
If we doubt this, we can just imagine what the world would be like if no
one bothered to be of service to others. Our work serves humanity.
The message we carry goes beyond the rooms of recovery,
affecting everything we do.
Committment for the Day
I will look for opportunities to be of service in everything I do.
