To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior. ~ Titus 1:4 NIV, Holy Bible, eBook (p. 1159). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.
But life among Alcoholics Anonymous is more than attending gatherings and visiting hospitals. Cleaning up old scrapes, helping to settle family differences, explaining the disinherited son to his irate parents, lending money and securing jobs for each other, when justified—these are everyday occurrences. No one is too discredited or has sunk too low to be welcomed cordially—if he means business. ~ A.A. World Services Inc. Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition . A.A. World Services, Inc.. Kindle Edition.
Connected genetically
we are not
but no family gathering
feels more like kin, one people,
than a gathering of analogous spirits
finding Recovery,
a common faith,
walking the same path,
guiding and accompanying,
moving in concert,
better together,
blending our paths.
God, thank you for mentors,
for being the Power
holding us in our path,
for the community
learning as one.
