SHOUT WITH WORKS
“…We try to be humbly grateful and exert ourselves the more in a spirit of love and service.” 12&12 p.124
“Lord, accept my grateful thanks…” Psalm 119:108 (NLT)
For what it’s worth: Gratitude was foreign to me during my drinking years. Now that I am sober in Alcoholics Anonymous, however, everything is different. One of the most influential changes on my overall being is an attitude of gratitude. I even see so much to be thankful for during my drinking days, and certainly since I was blessed with sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous. Indeed, my cup overflows, and I need to shout out my gratitude in words and works, preferably works.
God bless you!
