Meditations on "Surrender"

…The Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child!

Y Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle all my problems at once.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

Being grateful for the things we have and for the people around us, contributes to a contented life in recovery.
