"Carrying the message an practicing the principles......"

I'm interested to hear other peoples experiences on letting our Higher Power work thru us. It's been a very interesting journey for me, and I've come to the conclusion that asking my Higher Power to work thru me in all circumstances, and then getting out of his way, is his will for me. And for me, carrying the message has no limits.....I pray for Him to be reflected thru ALL my affairs, cuz you never know who's on the receiving end and how it will affect them....right down to smiling at the little old lady in the supermarket.....
I love the Step 11 prayer....."Lord, make me a channel....."

It is a VERY tall order. Breaking it down one interaction at a time has helped me (kinda like one day at a time??)....and I find in step 10 pretty concrete instruction on how to treat my fellows....patience, tolerance and love......forgiveness and self-restaraint.....and accepting that "all people are to some extent emotionally ill as well as frequently wrong". We are all in this journey together.
Thanks for posting the St. Francis Prayer.....it's beautiful
