O.L.G.A. Thought for the Day

Is it my desire to be a big shot in O.L.G.A.? Do I always want to be up front in the limelight? Do I feel that nobody else can do as good a job as I can? Or am I willing to take a seat in the back row once in a while and let somebody else carry the ball? Part of the effectiveness of any O.L.G.A. group is the development of new members to carry on, to take over from the older members. Am I reluctant to take authority? Do I let others carry the load for the group? If so, I am not being fair to the older members. Do I realize that no one person is essential, but together, we ALL are? Do I know that O.L.G.A. cannot carry on without new members stepping in?

Meditation for the Day

Our Unseen Higher Power can help to make us truly grateful and humble. Since we cannot see our Higher Power, we must believe in Him without seeing. What we can see clearly is the change in a human being, when he/she sincerely asks his/her Higher Power for the strength to change. Cling to faith in our Higher Power and in His power to change our ways. Our faith in an Unseen Higher Power will be rewarded by a useful and serviceable life. Our Higher Power will not fail to show us the way we should live, when in real gratitude and true humility we turn to Him.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may believe that my Higher Power can change me. I pray that I may be always willing to be changed for the better.
