Al Kohallek's 'Pay Forward' gifts: 009

Nine: my ‘Pay Forward’ gift is emotional. ‘Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticise me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you’ (William Arthur Ward). There so many ways we encourage one another in Alcoholics Anonymous, starting with staying sober, showing up at meetings, sharing our stories—we can all list the times we were encouraged. Today let us ‘accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative’. Let our hearts and minds be filled with the love we are. Our love is a healing power touching everything into wholeness; our love is an extension of our Father’s love. Come let us inspire each other to love more, to heal, to teach, and to forgive. Let us encourage each other to accept our Father’s Love and His Will.
