Remember Mindfulness – close eyes briefly

Give in order to receive

Heard at an AA meeting: The banquet is ready;
the food is all laid out – you bring your own plate.
In other words, all the benefits of a happy sobriety
are there for us, but we have to contribute
something ourselves. Another comment: NA is a mine
where we find gold each day, but what we find,
we give away. Do I understand that any Twelve Step
fellowship is a two-way arrangement where I give
away what I have, in order to keep it?

Non nobis solum sed toti mundo nati. Anon.
(Not for ourselves were we born, but for the
world).
This beautiful mediaeval saying has been proved to be
true, many times. Lives of complete selfishness
simply do not work. I must remember that no man
is an island, and that isolation will make me
unhappy whereas helping others without
expectation of reward or thanks, can be the most
satisfying of actions.
It is not good for man to be alone. Genesis.
What can I bring to the feast? Today I ask God to be
able to give of myself, that I may receive.
