Sometimes, we really live the Third Stepand its great!We dont regret the past, we arent afraid of the future, and were generally pleased with the present.Sometimes, though, we lose our vision of Gods will in our life.
Many of us dream of erasing the mistakes of our past, but the past cannot be erased.Many of us are grateful this is so, for our past experiences have brought us to the recovery we enjoy today.By working the program, we can learn to accept the past and reconcile ourselves with it by amending our wrongs.Those same Twelve Steps can help eliminate our worries over the future.When we practice NA principles on a daily basis in all our affairs, we can leave the results up to our Higher Power.
It seems as though our members with the strongest faith are the ones who are best able to live in the present moment.Enjoyment, appreciation, and gratitude for the quality of our livesthese are the results of faith in life itself.When we practice the principles of our program, today is the only day we need.

Just for today:I will make the most of today, and trust that yesterday and tomorrow are in Gods care.
There are no coincidences in my mind,todays message is so pertinent as life continues to rain down and I still remain free and clean for another day! Only through God's grace and mercy for me ,at times do I find comfort,,,I am so grateful!!

I feel like I'm blind to God's will so much of the time. When I look back I see how God has made things happen in ways that I would have never been able to comprehend. I am with the daily decision. I do believe we either need to invite God or give our day to God. I am greatful that I'm still teachable!
