By sincerely engaging in spiritual
practice, we can gain mastery over
our mind
I walk through life now with a renewed
attitude and dreams. The Father of the
Universe is with me now. I have given
Him my will and he now guides me
through the day and gives me strength
and hope to do his will. I no longer fear
the day, I walk knowing, I am guided in
my relationships and actions with other
people, places and things. I now have
the strength, because of my Father, to
say no at the right times, to behave with
brotherly love and to help my brothers
in need.
My Father helps me to control my thoughts,
to discard the bad ones and to embrace the
good ones, as those good thoughts, always
help others in some fashion, that I may or
may not be aware of, but I know, that is the
way of my Father, for He is all loving.
I sometimes forget to be grateful to my
Father, because at times I take for granted
the good things he has done for me and I
fall back to doing my will. This always
ends in strife for me and my Father who
loves me allows this strife to happen. This
strife always brings me back to my Father,
who is always happy to see me. You see,
no matter what I have done, he always
loves me.
My Father allows for the hardships of daily
life, for you see, he wants to know how I
will handle these little adversities of life.
My way or His way?
I now know which way is best way, but I must
admit, I still stumble, but now I know, to
immediately talk to Him and get on His
track again.
My Father put in my path the good people
at the Veterans Administration, the Doctors
and staff, members of Alcoholics Anonymous,
my sponsor and the fellowship of sober
alcoholics.
That is why this alcoholic veteran is a
sober alcoholic veteran today.
One Day At A Time.
