Miracles

Chance is perhaps the pseudonym of God when he did not wish to sign.

~Anatole France

Chance is that unplanned and unexpected happening that brings happiness and freedom to us. It is often another name for a miracle.

Miraculous good fortune comes to all of us when we work our program. We accept the miracles of chance (luck) with gratitude. In fact, we help to make our own miracles by constant attention to thinking and behaving to the best of our ability and within our limitations, and by staying open to our Higher Power's will for us.

We make positive efforts to deserve the fortunes of chance. We cannot depend on luck, but must try to become receptive to the good things that happen to us. We accept the fact that, in recovery, miracles happen not to just a few at rare times, but to all of us, often.

I am learning in my program that I must never depend on miracles to solve my problems. But I can create the emotional and spiritual climate within myself for them to occur by working my program.

Today's reading is from the book Easy Does It: A Book of Daily Twelve Step Meditations*
