Humility

Today I realize that humility is not thinking "less" of myself, but less about myself.

I am a part of a greater whole.

Just for today... I will make an attempt to think more of others... of how they feel... of what they might be thinking or going through.

87 Problems

"You are always going to have 87 problems, which ones do you want today?" I have better problems today, than when I drank.

We are always going to have to face challenges. Running from our problems will not make them go away. In many cases, the problems get bigger if we ignore them.

We must confront our problems, using the serenity prayer as our guide. If there is nothing to be done or if we have tried everything that can be done, then we "rest" in the Lord and wait for answers. We will learn over time what we can and should do about solving problems. Wisdom come with time and most of all experience. We will learn the difference and the answers will come when we let go and allow God to work through us or around us.

Trust in the Lord!
