> November 2: Faith; opening yourself to receive others into your life.
> This is November, the 11th month of the year;
> • The 11th Tradition reads: Our public relations policy is ba
> sed on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain per
> sonal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
> • The 11th Step: Sought through prayer and meditation to impr
> ove our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying onl
> y for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
> • The 11th Promise: We will intuitively know how to handle si

> A.A. Thought for the Day
> I have faith. That thing that makes the world seem right. That thing
> that makes sense at last. That awareness of the Divine Principle in
> the universe which holds it all together and gives it unity and
> purpose and goodness and meaning. Life is no longer ashes in my
> mouth or bitter to the taste. it is all one glorious whole, because
> God is holding it together. Faith - that leap into the unknown, the
> venture into what lies beyond our ken, that which brings untold
> rewards of peace and serenity. Have I faith?
>
> Meditation for the Day
>
> Keep yourself like an empty vessel for God to fill. Keep pouring
> yourself out to help others so that God can keep filling you up with
> His spirit. The more you give, the more you will have for yourself.
> God will see that you are kept filled as long as you are giving to
> others. But if you selfishly try to keep all for yourself, you are
> soon blocked off from God, your source of supply, and you will
> become stagnant. To be clear, a take must have an inflow and an
> outflow.
>
> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may keep pouring out what I receive. I pray that I may
> keep the stream clear and flowing.

> In ancient times material progress was painfully slow. The

> In the realm of the material, men's minds were fettered by

> Others came near putting Galileo to death for his astronomical

> We have found that God does not make too hard terms with
> those who seek Him. To us, the realm of spirit is broad, roomy, all-
> inclusive, never exclusive or forbidding to those who earnestly
> seek. It is open, we believe, to all men.
