Many alcoholics will be saying today: “This is a good
Christmas for me.” They will be looking back over the
past Christmases which were not like this one. They
will be thanking God for their sobriety and their new
found life. They will be thinking about how their
lives have changed when they came into A.A. They will
be thinking that perhaps God let them live through all
the hazards of their drinking careers, when they were
perhaps often close to death, in order that they may
be used by Him in the great work of A.A. Is this a happy
Christmas for me?
Meditation For The Day
The kingdom of heaven is also for the lowly, the
sinners, the repentant. “And they presented unto him
gifts–gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” Bring your gifts
of gold–your money and material possessions. Bring
your frankincense–the consecration of your life to a
worthy cause. Bring your myrrh–your sympathy and
understanding and help. Lay them all at the feet of
God and let Him have full use of them.
Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may be truly thankful on this Christmas day.
I pray that I may bring my gifts and lay them on the altar.
