Working With Others - March 26 2006

CraigT · 03-26-2006, 09:18 AM

Thought for the Day
Strength comes also from working with others. When you are trying to help a newbie, you are building up your own strength at the same time. You see the other person in the condition you might be in yourself and it makes your resolve for clean eating, stronger than ever. Often, you help yourself more than the other person, but if you do succeed in helping the newbie get on track, you are stronger from the experience of having helped another person. Am I receiving strength from working with others?

Meditation for the Day
Faith is the bridge between you and God. It is the bridge that God has ordained. If all were seen and known, there would be no merit in doing right. Therefore God has ordained that we do not see or know directly. But we can experience the power of His spirit through our faith. It is the bridge between us and Him, which we can take or not, as we will. There could be no morality without free will. We must make the choice ourselves. We must make the venture of belief.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may choose and decide to cross the bridge of faith. I pray that by crossing this bridge I may receive the spiritual power I need.

Craig I am so grateful that you have started this new tradition of spiritual meditations and reflections for the day. I know that for me personally I would never be able to do this on my own and without the love and support of my maker and those that I meet, that are also His children. It all goes back to the hymn I posted earlier, Because I Have Been Given Much..... it is because of all I have received that I hope to be able to help someone on this board in their journey. I know that I am still pre-op so that I do not have much experience, but I hope I make up for it in good intentions. I hope that everyone here knows how much I care about them and respect them for all that they bring here and to myself and others in this life. Thank you everyone for putting up with all my ramblings.
