Al Kohallek's 'Pay Forward' gifts: 010

Ten: my ‘Pay Forward’ gift is social. Come, let us plant love seeds throughout this day. Be aware of how this changes your behaviour. Let us be kind to one another no matter what. When the wordsmiths put the words human and kind together to form humankind, they intuitively knew we need to be kind and loving to one another. Perhaps just for today we can treat everyone like we do an AA newcomer: welcome them with open arms. In AA, we are a team, and when one member is suffering, we can return to love. In our time of suffering, we will believe others will return to love for us. Tradition Five: ‘Each group has but one primary purpose—to carry its message [loving-kindness] to the alcoholic who still suffers.’ Come let us love one another. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
