REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Let me remember how the dawn breaks in the morning. The change from darkness into light comes on so gradually it is hardly noticeable. But at one point I become able to discern forms where before has been complete darkness. And everything around me become clearer, almost imperceptibly, up to the moment when the sun rises in all its splendor, warming rays. Let me think about this whenever I am feeling impatient.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
May I put my whole reliance in You, who lets the sun rise over us every day, trusting that You are taking care of all Your children.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Dawn comes slowly, and so will my patience.

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
After I had been in the program for a while and was still impatient with my growth, emotionally as well as spiritually, I had to realize I had probably neglected to see the small positive changes occuring within me. At first I had to look hard to find those small, positive changes, which later grew in to giant positive changes. Now I realize those changes were there all along. Because I was not satisfied with them, I discounted the little seeds which just needed more water and warm sunshine (EA) to grow. Those seeds were permanently planted no matter what I believed. And yet, I still became frustrated because I was tired of my shortcomings and wanted a miracle, which was to become well right then and there. I had no patience with my very slow progress.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
May I have trust and faith that I will be better if I take action to search for what I need.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I can feel better about myself just knowing I am at least trying to improve.
