SERVING MY BROTHER
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.

SERVING MY BROTHER
The member talks to the newcomer
not in a spirit of power
but in a spirit of humility and weakness.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS COMES OF AGE p. 279
As the days pass in A.A.,
I ask God to guide my thoughts
and the words that I speak.
In this labor
of continuous participation in the Fellowship,
I have numerous opportunities to speak.
So, I frequently ask God
to help me watch over my thoughts and my words,
that they may be
the true and proper reflections of our program;
to focus my aspirations
once again to seek His guidance;
to help me be truly kind and loving,
helpful and healing,
yet always filled with humility,
and free from any trace of arrogance.
Today I may very well have to deal with
disagreeable attitudes or utterances –
the typical stock-in-trade attitude
of the still-suffering alcoholic.
If this should happen,
I will take a moment to center myself in God,
so that I will be able to respond
from a perspective of composure,
strength and sensibility.
