LIFE TODAY - A PRECIOUS TREASURE

“The old pleasures were gone. They were but memories.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 151

“God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past.” Ecclesiastes 5:20

For what it’s worth: The old pleasures? I am hard pressed to remember any. Moreover, the memories haunt me still. Therefore, when I am enjoying the present, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Every loss I have ever experienced has been replaced a hundredfold. Every agony I ever suffered has been rewarded with a blessing. The God that I found through Alcoholics Anonymous - totally different from the punishing Judge of my yesteryear - has become my loving Heavenly Father. When I get my past out of His way, trust Him with my future, and just be with Him today, life is, indeed, a precious treasure.

God bless you!
