Today's thought is:
"Turning it over" is a step-by-step, one-day-at-a-time process.
It is growing in two directions: getting to know our Higher Power, as
we come to know and understand ourselves. We could compare it to the
growth of a tree: The roots grow down into the soil for food, while the
branches grow up into the light, turning the nutrients into new life. Like
the tree, we grow spiritually by looking deep within ourselves, while
we aspire upwards to conscious contact with our God.
As we draw from within the knowledge of who we really are - our
assets and liabilities—we can explore these in light of our relationship
with God and others.
This Higher Power who created us also cares for us. That is reason
enough this day to maximize our assets and minimize our liabilities.
