ONLY TWO SINS
Good Morning!!!
God grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change;
Courage to change
the things I can;
and Wisdom
to know the difference.
Thy will, not mine, be done.

ONLY TWO SINS
. . .. there are only two sins;
the first is to interfere with
the growth of another human being,
and the second is
to interfere with one’s own growth.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 542
Happiness is such an elusive state.
How often do my “prayers” for others
involve “hidden” prayers for my own agenda?
How often is my search for happiness
a boulder in the path
of growth for another, or even myself?
Seeking growth through humility and acceptance
brings things that appear to be anything but good,
wholesome and vital.
Yet in looking back, I can see that pain,
struggles and setbacks
have all contributed eventually to serenity
through growth in the program.
I ask my Higher Power to help me not cause
another’s lack of growth today — or my own.
