A Day at a Time

Reflection for the Day
God grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change; COURAGE to change the things I can; and WISDOM to know the difference – living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it: Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.
Today I Pray
May I look back at this past year as a good one, in that nothing I did or said was wasted. No experience – however insignificant it may have seemed – was worthless. Hurt gave me the capacity to feel happiness; bad times made me appreciate the good ones; what I regarded as my weaknesses became my greatest strengths. I thank God for a year of growing.
Today I Will Remember
Hope is my “balance brought forward” – into a new year’s ledger.
Hazelden Foundation
My purpose here is to reach as many people as possible who need a message of hope that recovery from alcoholism is possible and that sobriety is possible through a program that emphasizes personal choice, consequences of choices and our responsibility to those consequences. To anyone who finds hope or solace here, may your Higher Power guide you to the serenity and discipline of recovery.
