April 30     Avoid the Battle

“Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles,
but in avoiding them.
A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.”
~ Norman Vincent Peale

God said other people will be just as other people want to be.

God said this world will be just as He/She wants it to be

and your vote will eventually become a footnote in a long

forgotten history book, if it is even remembered at all.

Today, avoid the battle, work with God, not against God,

to make this world a better, happier place for yourself, others

and the God of your understanding.

Acceptance will be the answer to all of your problems today.

Happiness is not keeping a count of who wins or who loses.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

“And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today”,
Dr. Paul, p 417, from the Big Book of AA


April 29                        United

“Our soul is not united to our body in the ordinary sense of these terms.

It is immediately and directly united to God alone.” ~
Nicolas Malebranche

To be spiritual is not to be united; body, mind and soul, but to

be conscious of each element of your being and give it the time,

care and respect that each part of your existence is due.

Being conscious allows one to keep a balance in your life.

Drunks and addicts know unconscious, only too well.
 
Keep the body healthy, the mind filled with kind thoughts and

a soul that is united with the God of your understanding and

you will be the person the Great Creator wants you to be.

Happiness is a soul that is united with the Spirit of the Universe.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

ME and the Boss
