Your Higher Power, is just that, yours, not mine or his, or hers, it is yours.
There was a guy at rehab with who used the Pacific Ocean as his HP because
it was a power greater then he was, someone else used the British heavy
metal band Judas Priest as his, you can use whatever works for you. It could be your
home group, the sun , etc. Only you can know what you see as a power greater
than yourself that will help you and restore some sanity to your life.

A Higher Power Speak to me without words.
Hold me without arms.
Charm me without charms And I feel love Understand me without pity.
Smile at me with eyes.
See the sea from the city.
You never tell me lies.
Walk with me when I'm alone And listen to my cries.
Now I know that you know All negativity dies It's a choice.
I hear your voice.
Yeah, sometimes I don't.
You won't let me forget, And I know you know I won't.
I want to touch so many.
Where am I supposed to be? Where ever I am,
where ever I go, I know you're with me.

We have often looked to other people, places and things
for our answers and for our happiness...
We thought others could free us from pain, fear or guilt...
This has never brought any happiness
and in the long run we have not changed....

It is time to begin to trust that small voice within,
coming from the person we really are...
It is time to look within and begin to uncover
all that has been blocking us from our truth, from our Higher Power...
It is time to discover ourselves....

A lady recently joined AA and was asked by a coworker
"What it was like to be a Sober Alcoholic?"

She replied, "It's like being a pumpkin.
HP picks you from the patch, washes all of the dirt off
that you may have gotten from the other pumpkins.

Then He cuts the top off and scoops out all the yucky stuff.
He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.

Then He carves you a new smiling face and
puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."

Joy isn't the absence of pain -- it's the presence of God.

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween..Terry

When you prepare a meal... prepare it as if God were going to be sitting at your table. Because He is. When you work... work as if God will be your customer. Because He is. And when you speak with another... speak as if you were speaking with God. Because you are."
