Day 512

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Thomas Merton put it best, "Pride makes us artificial & Humility makes us real."  I really need to watch myself sometimes.  I get so excited about things I do, or me, me, me.  I AM giving with what I do.  I share, but am I doing it for the wrong reasons is what is comes down to.  Am I doing it for self-gratification or worldly self-fulfillment?  Or am I REALLY doing it to help others?  I have been praying a lot more and trying not to do things that have me at the center of them.  James 4:6 "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."  I can be proud of myself for getting and staying sober without being prideful.  I can be grateful.  And I am not doing it alone...by the grace of the God.  That's all for today.  Have a great one!
