GETTING INVOLVED

There is action and more action. “Faith without works is dead.” … To be helpful is our only aim.

I understand that service is a vital part of recovery but I often wonder, “What can I do?” Simply start with what I have today! I look around to see where there is a need. Are the ashtrays full? Do I have hands and feet to empty them? Suddenly I’m involved! The best speaker may make the worst coffee; the member who’s best with newcomers may be unable to read; the one willing to clean up may make a mess of the bank account – yet every one of these people and jobs is essential to an active group. The miracle of service is this: when I use what I have, I find there is more available to me than I realized before.

Finally an easy reflection 😀. Look around and be helpful. I have a coffee commitment at 7:45am Saturday mornings. Omg it's brutal. But I love my little home group. I'm sure my coffee is terrible. I never know how much to put in. No one has complained though 

This is an area I've grown. I remember appreciating the coffee cookies and chairs at meetings and honestly not feeling like I had to be the one to do it. I'm still like this at home. But at AA I enthusiastically help with setup and especially clean up at meetings. I'm not sure I've ever noticed the MIRACLE of service. But I try to serve however I can. I know my sponsor approves and it gets me to the meeting early. My prayer: Rockstar thank you for opportunity to serve in small ways. Help me grow to serve in little and bigger ways and reveal the miracle in my service.
