connecting the dots

 
I have friends in the program that do this morning devotional reading and text on the phone, there are 100's on it, he is allowing me onto a portion of the list . Some of you know my story includes that I was once married to a preacher's son, they are missionaries, this meant of course I had resentments towards all things Christian including the written works The Bible. So when I found out that this was biblically based hum well well now what, I welcome all things my HP puts in my path, as a great learning experience right!? I have listed this resentment many times and thought I guess this will be good And I do really want to be a part of this wonderful  experience.Like the big book of AA says, an open mind and a new experience, or maybe thats NA haa haa I love both books and now I see wonderful things in THE BIBLE.wow I am growing in the sunlight of the spirit!!!SO this morning the reading was in Luke I remember this reading because remember when I was married into this family I taught sunday school.And by the way I was not an active alcoholic/addict at that time.I had not begun my journey YET I didnt drink till I was 25.
So, LUKE 18:1-3  I read on into 27
LUKE 18:27 says And he said The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Yep right there in the Bible
 I immedaitely recalled the chapter Into Action page 87 Big Book AA  We usually.. meditation...If circmstance warrant we...There are many helpful books( in this case the bible) Be quick to see where religious people are right.Make use of what they have to offer.
I will share with you my devo I sent off:
Luke 18:27 And he said the things which are impossible with me are possible with GOD.Pg 66 How It Works BB,AA How it works: It is plain to see that a life which includes deep resentment leads only to futilty and unhappiness...Squander the hours...For the alcoholic whose hope is the maintence and growth of a spiritual experience...Resentment is infinitely grave. Have a beautiful day
