Try a Little Kindness

This is probably not seen too much these days and certainly not reported very often in the news media, but kindness covers a multitude of anger, hurtful, and just plain lonely feelings. 

Perhaps you have already been the receiver of an act of anonymous kindness. Just last week a friend shared how they were pleasantly surprised to learn as they picked up their daily Starbucks order at the drive through window that the unknown person in front of them had paid for their coffee. 

I dare you to give it a try! 

Do something anonymously for a random stranger or for a loved one. See how you feel afterwards. 

Remember, it’s not about being seen doing this, it’s about serving others with no expectation of a return. 

I promise you that the indirect return you get from this is better than you can imagine! Go on…You can do this! Then…..Check your experience. …. 

“Were we kind and loving toward all?” Big Book pg 86

Lord, let us show our love today through kindness to those around us, AMEN. 

”Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32

Good looking out.

Have you ever noticed that the best things come from ideas and actions focused on helping others? 

The internet came from 2 guys trying to have a quick and simple communication system for their company. 2 brothers wanted an easier way for folks to get from point A to point B and air flight came about. A few folks wanted to worship Jesus without persecution and America came to be. ...It's the same in our lives. 

We (hopefully) are walking a path of good that our children wish to follow. We volunteer with others to help those who are not as blessed as we are right now. Good things come from looking out for others. How are you intentionally looking out for others? ... Check your experience. ... 

"...do not think of what you will get out of the occasion. Think of what you can bring to it." Big Book pg 102 

Lord open the eyes of our hearts to let us see those You would have us help, AMEN. 

"Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others." Philippians 2:4

"Soul Food"

Our information age provides us with instant and on demand information and access to just about anything we can think of. With just a few clicks we can learn what products to buy, where to go for fun, and even the right food to eat. 

Now I am sure we all have learned that just because it’s on the internet doesn't necessarily mean that it's true. ... 

We must consider the source. ... 

We can even find arguments pro and con on the benefits of low carb, fat free, and diet foods these days. It's very confusing, especially at times when all we have to rely on is ourselves… 

What about the food for our souls?.. 

There is one thing that has not changed over time. It's the Word and Truth in the Bible. Sure, "religious fads" come and go but the Word and its source remain the same. Consider the source. How are you getting spiritually fed?.. 

Check your experience… 

"Assuming we are spiritually fit, we can do all sorts of things" Big Book pg 100 

Lord thank you for constantly and consistently offering Your Word as the Spiritual food and nourishment for our souls, AMEN. 

 "Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you." John 6:27

Have a blessed day y’all!

Most folks I know are doing a better job these days of choosing better foods and meals. 

Just like having the proper fuel for our cars, it’s important to have the proper fuel in the form of nutritious healthy food for our bodies. Slowly the fast food chains are getting this message and it’s possible to get a sort of healthy meal from them if there are no other healthier options, but for the most part, fast food, like sugary snacks, are full of empty calories that fool our bodies and leave us more hungry as well as tired. 

It’s the same in our spiritual nutrition as well. We can fool ourselves and load up on man-made words and spiritual “junk food” that require no action on our part and make us feel momentarily good about ourselves. 

Unfortunately, like fast food, this leaves us hungry and thirsty in our souls. We can get true spiritual nutrition daily by turning our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understand Him and feast on His Word daily… 

Check your experience… 

“A new life has been given us or, if you prefer, "a design for living" that really works.” Big Book pg 28 

Lord, let us feed spiritually on Your Word and the Holy Spirit, AMEN. 

“Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:35

Have a blessed day y’all!

It seems we have seasons for everything in our lives.  

We have clothes for the changing seasons. Heck, even Arizonans have a jacket in the closet somewhere! We have football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and other sports seasons. We even have seasons that we can put on our food to spice it up or change the flavor. 

What about our lives? It’s a common to hear that folks are “going through a season” when there is change or challenge in their lives. Change is inevitable for all of us. It’s part of being human. However, it’s how we deal with the change and the seasons in our lives that helps us grow spiritually. 

Maybe it’s different for you, but I have learned to embrace change over the years. I may still bristle when it comes unexpectedly, but I clear my mind and remind myself that I turned my will and life over the Lord when I got sober, and that frees me from pride and fear taking control of my thoughts and actions. 

What about you? 

Does change bring resistance and lock you in a battle with your self-centered feelings and pride preventing you from growing? Perhaps change ignites fear inside of you, shutting off the Holy Spirit and trapping you within your closed mindset. Or maybe you embrace change knowing there is a lesson to be learned and the outcome will make you a better person. … 

Check your experience. … 

“Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.” Big Book pg 84 

Lord, thank you for the seasons in our lives that help us to grow in spirit and understanding. Please give our hearts comfort and our minds relief in times of change, reminding us that You know what is best for us and will NOT give us anything we cannot handle, AMEN. 

 “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1

Another way to see things

We use our eyes to see all that this world has to offer. That’s part of being human. We are also equipped with another way to see. 

Our Spiritual nature inside of helps us to see in a different way. We cannot see the air we breathe, yet we take it for granted that it’s here. We naturally take it for granted that when we flip a light switch the light will come on and when we put the key into the ignition, the car will start. 

This comes from FAITH. 

We learn by doing and by feeling. This is how we develop our spiritual eyes. Now it’s a fact that we all crawl before we walk. So, we cannot develop spiritual eyes overnight. Like the air we breathe, light switch, and the key in the ignition, we build up a continued and familiar experience over time that allows us to believe it will work. 

THAT is a form of FAITH! 

It’s the same with our Spiritual Faith. We must build on it and grow it so that we can rely on it in times of uncertainty… Check your experience… 

“In this book you read again and again that faith did for us what we could not do for ourselves.” Big Book pg 70 

Lord open the eyes of our hearts through building and growing our faith in You and Your Word, AMEN.

Planting seeds in hard ground

If you have ever gardened or worked with your yard, and especially if you live in Arizona, you learn pretty quickly that the ground here is pretty hard and not too compliant when it comes to yielding to a shovel, spade, or a hoe. 

We learned that in order to plant, we first have to treat the ground here with water, over and over to get it to soften and become workable. The more we work with the ground, the deeper we can dig to allow more room for the plant to take root and grow. 

It’s the same with our hearts when it comes to accepting change. 

Now maybe it’s different for you, but I have learned from experience that until I can soften my heart and become willing to accept needed change and allow it space in my heart, nothing changes and I remain hardened inside. 

When I soften my heart through willingness and allow God’s grace and guidance to plant the needed seeds of change it comes and I grow… Check your experience... 

“His change of heart was dramatic, convincing, and moving.” Big Book pg 55 

Lord, let us become willing to allow our hearts to soften to accept the changes You have for us, AMEN.

Don't judge a book by its cover

Looks can be deceiving, especially when we allow our judgement to be based solely on what we initially see. 

Perhaps it's different for you, but I have shared before how my magic magnifying mind likes to trick me into trusting the ideas it generates on its own just for me. It pays to learn more of the story before we pass judgement. 

Years ago when I was living and working at the Salvation Army, we had this very small man named Joe. He walked funny and had a hard time finding words, so it was easy to pass him by as another needy and hopeless cause. 

However as I got to know Joe and hang out with him, our friendship grew, and I learned that he was a power lifter in the gym, and before he had a stroke in his mid-20's, he was a college graduate with a promising career in engineering. 

As our friendship grew, Joe taught me and others to use the gym safely and encouraged to me to get my college education and pursue God's calling on my life. I am glad I took the time to get to know Joe before he went home to the Lord. He helped me a lot. 

Any "Joe's" in your life where you don't know their story?.. 

Check your experience... 

"We let God be the final judge." Big Book pg 70

Lord open the eyes of our hearts so the we can see those You send to us, AMEN. 

"Do not judge according to appearance" John 7:24

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

Have you ever noticed the fruit produced tends to depend on the health of the tree? Trees that are given ample water and live-in well-maintained soil produce the best fruit. Trees that get little water and are in not so fertile soil don’t produce much fruit and the fruit that is produced usually does not compare in quality to a healthier tree. 

If you think about it, our lives are the same way. When we are connected to a healthy, positive, and nurturing spiritual, emotional, and physical environment, we tend to be healthy for ourselves and others. 

When our surroundings are full of negativity and all kinds of chaos, we struggle to receive the spiritual food needed to be healthy… 

The apple does not fall far from the tree! How fertile is your environment?.. Check your experience… 

“His roots grasped a new soil.” Big Book pg 12 

Lord, let us surround ourselves with a fertile environment filled with love, grace, and growth, AMEN. 

“I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit.” John 15:5

I can't. .. HE can. .. I think I will let Him.

We humans are amazing creatures. We are blessed with this gift called free will and we dress it up and disguise it to ourselves and others as "will power ". We attempt to do many impossible things with it and sometimes we even succeed and then allow ourselves to believe the delusion that we did it all by ourselves. 

The truth is that while yes it does take will power to go to work, make a meal, and participate in the lives of those around us, more often than not, we are the recipient of God's blessings and His will for us when the bigger things happen. 

Take a moment today and look at all the good things around you and in your life. Are they really ONLY from your will power?.. 

Check your experience... 

"Lack of power that was our dilemma. We had to find a power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves." Big Book pg 45 

Lord, we thank you for the blessings in our lives that mainly come from You when we turn our will and lives over to you, AMEN.

Spring cleaning

Summer is just around the corner and most of us have thought about and perhaps even engaged in some form of Spring Cleaning. Maybe we cleaned and organized our homes, moving the clutter and no longer needed things to the trash. Some of us might even have looked in our clothes closets and removed our winter garments to make room for our summer wardrobe. Out with the old and in with the new is our Spring Cleaning motive.

What about the clutter of fears, resentments, anger, and other things in our hearts and minds that hold us hostage and block us off from the Son-light of the Spirit? 

Isn't it time to clear these unwanted thoughts and toxic emotions out of ourselves? It's a spiritual principle that when we find ourselves angry and or hurt by people, places, things, and or situations it's because there is something spiritually wrong inside of us that needs to be attended to and corrected or cleaned if you will. .... Check your experience...

"Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them." Big Book pg 84 

Lord let us open our hearts and minds to be cleansed by your Holy Spirit to remove any and all fear, resentment, anger, and self-generated pain, AMEN.

We GET what we GIVE

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, a great example of unconditional love is seen in a mother’s love for her child. Because we are human, it’s a part of our DNA to unconsciously and naturally seek unconditional love. 

Most of us spend our lives seeking it and never quite finding it. Perhaps it’s because we are looking with the wrong motives. 

 We GET what we GIVE. That is a spiritual principle. In my experience I have only received unconditional love when I am in a mental, spiritual, and emotional state to give this. I have learned I must give unconditional love in order to be able to receive it. 

God loves us unconditionally but until we are willing, we cannot receive His love. It’s the same with our relationships here on Earth. Until we are willing to give love unconditionally, we cannot receive it. … Check your experience…. 

“Love and tolerance of others is our code.” Big Book pg 84 

Lord thank You for loving us unconditionally. Please open our hearts with Your Spirit to enable us to be willing to give love unconditionally so that we may receive it, AMEN.

Change Your Thoughts and You Will Change Your Life!

If we can change our thoughts, we can change our attitudes. If we change our attitudes, we can change our actions. If our actions change then our behaviors follow. Finally, if our behaviors change, then so do our habits. 

It starts with us folks. We need not let the actions or influences of others control us and no matter how good it looks on the TV or the internet does not mean we HAVE to HAVE it to be complete! 

God gave us free will for a reason in order to allow us to consciously make our choices and decisions based on what’s in our hearts and not dominating our mind’s eye at the moment. … Check your experience. …

Solid as a Rock

Have you ever noticed how buildings are constructed? They usually start with a very solid and firm foundation. Next follows steel, iron, or whatever sturdy and strong material is used to build the frame. The point is that things that are built to last are built upon solid foundations. 

It’s the same with our lives. When we build our lives on a solid foundation of spiritual principles including, love, grace, tolerance, kindness, honesty, hard work, healthy relationships, and service to others we wind up with a stable, secure, and vibrant life. 

What are the principles you are using for the spiritual foundation of your life?.. Check your experience...

Lord, let us build our life upon the foundation we have through our faith and trust in You and Your Word, AMEN.

"THEY" just don't understand. 

Most of my early life, I was under the impression that "THEY" knew best and we should try and please "THEM". I spent a lot of confused years trying to make THEM happy and wondering who THEY were. 

Finally, I had my spiritual awakening and turned my will and my life over to God and I no longer needed to worry about pleasing THEM or THEY! I have found grace, growth, and abundant life through my daily walk with God. I still don't know, who THEY or THEM are and I no longer care. 

How about you? Are you spending countless frustrating hours daily in trying to live to please THEM hoping THEY are happy with you? Or are you seeking God's will daily?.. Check your experience… 

"...if only people would do as he wished, the show would be great. Everybody, including himself, would be pleased." Big Book pg 61

Are you "salty" enough? 

Salt can change, preserve, and add value to what it touches. But it is up to us to use it—or not.... We can use way too much salt and that can be bad for our health as well as those we cook for. We can also ignore or choose not to use salt and that can also have negative effects on us and others. 

We are given talents and gifts to use. Like "salt" we can use these way too much or not at all. How are you choosing to use the "SALT" of talents and gifts in your life? Are you changing, adding value, preserving, or just not using it? ... Check your experience. ...

The “inner-net’ connection

Plugged in, wired, and networked are terms we associate with our communications these days. I am glad I no longer need to figure out how to “interface” with folks! Wi-Fi and internet are the connections we seem to chase the most these days as we rely more and more on social media to get our “message” out there to “build our brand”. It sure feels like we need to constantly be networking ourselves to others in order to stay connected in today’s world. 

 How do we stay plugged in to the things that keep us grounded, stable, and secure? What about our internal connection to God and the Holy Spirit? 

I am grateful that I have been shown and taught to seek quiet time daily, and even hourly at times, to connect with God to stabilize my heart and quiet my mind. When I do this, I become grounded and connected in the right way that makes my day go in the direction it needs to instead of more out of control. How are you keeping your inner connection solid?..

It A'int For Sale

Just about anything we could possibly want or think we need is available instantly these days. From the basics of food, shelter, and clothing to instant fixes from pills, powders, and motivational mojo, we can get it instantly with our bank cards and money. 

Maybe it's different for you but I have learned the hard way that none of my flaws, defects, or shortcomings can be fixed instantly and from purchasing that latest thing they hawk on the TV. 

My weight loss came from daily work and proper eating. My fears and pride are only managed through a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance and growth of my spiritual condition.

Let’s Throw a Little Light on the Subject

Light sure makes things easier for us. We have different lights for different needs. The sunlight is necessary for all living things. Light bulbs give us access, safety, and convenience in our daily lives. 

It is part of our culture to use the term “throw a little light on the subject” when we want to draw attention to something. Have you considered how we use the Lord’s light from His Holy Spirit? 

When we walk in the light of the Holy Spirit, our path is illuminated with grace, hope, comfort, and we find ourselves in the company of fellow believers and not so alone anymore. 

Try turning on the light of the Holy Spirit next time you feel alone or confused. It will amaze you how different things look and feel in His light! … Check your experience. … 

 “I must turn in all things to the Father of Light who presides over us all.” Big Book pg 14

Refresh your mind

Have you ever noticed how much our minds tend to magnify the things that are fear driven? It’s human nature for this to happen, but sad to see so many of us get caught up in these delusions that are created in our minds as we hold onto these thoughts and let them grow in size and strength. 

There is no need to become a prisoner of our fears. We can break free of fear’s hold on us by simply changing our minds. 

Try it! 

The next time you find yourself being held hostage by fear. Ask the Holy Spirit (prayer) to remove the fear and replace it with a thought of helping someone else. 

Give it a try! You can do it and as always… Check your experience!.. 

“At once, we commence to outgrow fear.” Big Book pg 68
