December 27

All his thinking could not make him understand, but his singing heart could.

~Laura Adams Armer

Now that we are sober, we are pretty good thinkers. Clear, sober thinking is great. But thinking is not the whole story. We human beings are only part mind; we also are part body, part heart, and part soul.

We need to use all of these parts in our recovery from addiction. Our recovery program asks us to think, of course. It also feeds our hearts as we relate to other people in the fellowship of our groups. It teaches us to take care of our bodies by staying sober, eating better, and sleeping like normal people. Spirituality in the program feeds our soul as we learn ways to relate to our Higher Power.

We become healthier and more whole - mind, heart, body, and soul - as we work the Twelve Step program. Life is meant to be lived on all of these levels. And when one part of us doesn't get it, we have three other parts of us to help us understand.
Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, please help me use all of me to live life fully - my body, mind, heart, and soul.
Today's Action

Today I will spend five minutes just sitting and relaxing. I will notice how I am aware of thoughts, emotions, and daydreams.

Today's reading is from the book God Grant Me: More Daily Meditations from the Authors of Keep It Simple*
