Many people living in one day at a time recovery wake in the morning with a common thought. This thought is thank you which is then to be followed by God help me. In finding ourselves in such positions, we soon come to the realization that we were awakened. Such an awakening is not caused by fear or dread. We were awakened for one more day because God, the universe, or the spirit chose us to become conscious. Thus in hope we live purposefully preparing to be an instrument of peace. Such is the endeavor of spiritual awakenings. This is an advantageous desire to be of service to others. We know we don’t have it all together. We know our awakening is jagged, messy and incomplete. But if we have helped others something is working. In humility we understand kinship. Kinship and community is the joy in life. Peace.
