December 3, 2025

 Listen to Learn or Learn to Listen. Either way, it speaks to me about meditation. I have heard it said that prayer is talking to God, or your higher power if the word God unsettles you. Meditation is listening for the answer to your question. By listening, we learn.

December 2, 2025 - First Things First

 First Things First reminds me of the reading in our book on step eleven that tells me upon awakening we consider our plans for the day. Before we begin we ask God to direct our thinking, so the first thing we do each day is pray. Someone I know says that the days I pray almost always turn out better than the days I don't. Most good ideas are simple.

December 1, 2025 - Love

 Love is my word today. Love comes in many forms and there are many ways to express love. When I bake cookies and bring them to a meeting, it's a way to show my love and gratitude to the new person. When I knit a scarf or a blanket and give it to someone less fortunate than I, then again it is out of love.
