Keep it Simple

Fairness is what justice really is. —The last Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart—
Some of us get hung up on what’s fair. We might feel, because we’ve worked hard to stay sober, we should be rewarded. We might keep score of what we get and what others get. And we complain if it’s “not fair.”
Maybe we should be glad life isn’t fair. Why? Most of us caused a lot of trouble we’ve never had to pay for.

And we’ve hurt a lot of people who haven’t gotten even. Would we really want life to be fair?
Our Higher Power isn’t fair either. That is, our Higher Power doesn’t keep score. Our Higher Power doesn’t

try to get even. Our Higher Power is loving and forgiving, no matter what. Our Higher Power has the same love

and help for everyone.
Prayer for the Day:  Higher Power, give me the wisdom to stop keeping score. Help me want the best for everyone.
Action for the Day:  I’ll list five times I’ve been unfair to others. Do I need to make amends?
