> A.A. work is one hundred percent voluntary. It depends on each and
> every one of our members to volunteer to do his or her share.
> Newcomers can sit on the sidelines until they have got over their
> nervous- ness and confusion. They have a right to be helped by all,
> until they can stand on their own feet. But the time inevitably
> comes when they have to speak up and volunteer to do their share in
> meetings and in twelfth- step work. Until that time comes, they are
> not a vital part of A.A. They are only in the process of being
> assimilated. Has my time come to volunteer?

> Meditation for the Day
>
> God's kingdom on earth is growing slowly, like a seed in the
> ground. In the growth of His kingdom, there is always progress
> among the few who are out ahead of the crowd. Keep striving for
> something better and there can be no stagnation in your life.
> Eternal life, abundant life is yours for the seeking. Do not
> misspend time over past failures. Count the lessons learned from
> failures as rungs upon the ladder of progress. Press onward
> toward the goal.
>
> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may be willing to grow. I pray that I may 'keep
> stepping up on the rungs of the ladder of life.

> ncial Fears”
>
>
> When a job still looked like a mere means of getting money
> rather than an opportunity for service, when the acquisition of
> money for financial independence looked more important than a right
> dependence upon God, we were the victims of unreasonable fears. &
> these were fears which would make a serene & useful existence, at
> any financial level, quite impossible.
>
> But as time passed we found that with the help of A.A.'s
> Twelve Steps we could lose those fears, no matter what our material
> prospects were. We could cheerfully perform humble labor without
> worrying about tomorrow. If our circumstances happened to be good,
> we no longer dreaded a change for the worse, for we had learned that
> these troubles could be turned into great values, for ourselves &
> for others.
