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

We in O.L.G.A. have the privilege of living two lives in one lifetime. One life of getting losts in the games, and running from reality and ourselves, failure in our real life and defeat, to having no real life at all. Then, through O.L.G.A., another life of learning how to care about ourselves and our real lives, and being there without having to run to the games to escape, having peace of mind, and usefulness. We who have found our real lives again, are modern miracles. And we're living on borrowed time. Some of us might not have made it back. But we have been given another chance to live. Do I owe a debt of gratitude to O.L.G.A.?

Meditation for the Day

Thinking about God in love and worship drives away evil. It is the thought before that the hosts of evil flee. The thought of a Power greater than yourself is the call for a life-line to rescue you from temptation. The thought of God banishes loneliness and dispels gloom. It summons help to conquer your faults. Think of your Higher Power as often as possible. Use the thought prayerfully and purposefully. It will carry your thoughts away from material things and toward the spiritual things that make life worthwhile.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may think of my Higher Power often. I pray that I may rest in peace at the thought of His love and care.
