FROM MY HEART

   WORKING ON AN AA—AGAIN!

Every now and then I have to work on that AA—That would be Attitude Adjustment for me. It all starts when I begin to whine and ask “why” when certain things happen in life instead of giving thanks to our Heavenly Father for all His Blessings. The whining begins and the attitude shows up. I ask why certain things happen and as always my Teacher, The Holy Spirit simply says, “Just go to God’s Word! The answers are in The Book.” I whine some more and tell my Teacher, “But you just don’t understand,” and my Teacher once again says. “Just go to The Book and you will find the answers.” “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not.” (Jer. 33:3). The truth is I knew all along where the answers were and who to call on even before I started the whining, but the old attitude was right there waiting to take up it’s abode. When we are down hearted, worried, upset and just plain tired, we find it easier just to step over the Holy Spirit and allow life to make us hateful, hurtful and just mean spirited, knowing all the time that the answers to our problems are found in The Book—God’s Word. When things don’t go our way and disappointments come (and they will come in this life) just remember to go to the Book, God’s Word, and listen carefully to our Teacher, the Holy Spirit and before you know it the smile, the sweet Spirit and our very countenance will reflect once again that we belong to Him, He is in control and not one thing can happen unless He allows it. No need to worry and fret about anything that comes along in this life. I’m sure I will be working on my AA off  and on until I get to Heaven but I know where all the answers are. They are in The Book—God’s Word and I must listen carefully to my Teacher, The Holy Spirit and talk daily with my Saviour about anything that troubles me in this life.Now,that’s what it takes to achieve an AA—and I’m working on it!!!
