AA ‘Big Book’ – Quote
In our personal stories you will find a wide variation in the way each teller approaches and conceives of the Power which is greater than himself. Whether we agree with a particular approach or conception seems to make little difference. Experience has taught us that these are matters about which, for our purpose, we need not be worried. They are questions for each individual to settle for himself. – Pg. 50 – We Agnostics

Hour To Hour – Book – Quote
‘Let Go and Let Go’ is a simple phrase that helps us realize that we are not in charge of the world. Our need to control and manage all things in our life will soon be replaced as we allow our Spiritual Source to operate.
Let this phrase gently lead me to practice Step three each time I hear it in a meeting or see it written on the walls of our meetings.
I Thank You God
I will say ‘thank you God’ today each time something happens that feels nice. If I enjoy my cup of tea in the morning, I will say ‘thank you God.’ If I see a quarter on the sidewalk I will pick it up and thank God. If someone smiles at me in a way that feels good, if the sun feels warm on my back, if my car starts, my dinner is there or someone in my life is with me for another day, I will say ‘thank you’, recognizing that these are all blessings. By the end of the day, I will have thanked God for a lot of things. I will have remembered what makes my life worth living. I will have increased my conscious contact with the source of all good.
