Open – Mindedness
We
have found that God does not make too hard terms with those who seek Him. To
us, the realm of spirit is broad, roomy, all inclusive, never exclusive or forbidding
to those who earnestly seek. It is open, we believe, to all men. AS BILL SEES
IT, p. 7
Open-mindedness
to concepts of a Higher Power can open doors to the spirit. Often I find the
human spirit in various dogmas and faiths. I can be spiritual in the sharing of
myself. The sharing of self joins me to the human race and brings me closer to
God, as I understand Him.

My
thoughts on June 16th Reading
I sure did not have an open mind before AA, but as I started
to learn from the people in the halls, I found that slowly my mind was
beginning to open up to this new way of life, first and most important thing I
learned, was that it just was not all about me, its about WE
Keeping my mind open, is more what I could do to change my
attitude towards others, with a chance to make amends for all the crap I had
caused by my actions when drinking, when I keep my mind open to changes that go
on I find I can turn things over to God
I can ask others in fellowship what they would do in the
same situation I find myself in, ask if they would share what they did to
improve the situation to make life easer for themselves, in other words ask
them to share their experience strength and Hope with me
Help me to look thru a fresh set of eyes and learn a little
more truth about myself, hopefully with an open mind I could accept the changes
in my life with the help of God, and by keeping that open mind to changes I had
to make in me and my attitudes
This is what its all about to me open-mindedness to God, for
changing me and my attitudes, not to change everyone and everything around me,
God will help others to change, my mind needs to stay open to the changes He
wants me to make in ME !!!!!!!
KISS = Keep It Simple Spiritually and that’s how I want to
do things today
God bless you Al M
