my daily reflections…

i remember years back when it was suggested to me that i needed to build a relationship with a HP and have total faith in it. i could never even imagine the level of faith i have today, then. it is somethin that i have had to cultivate. it hasnt all come in 1 day, and it continues to grow today. the daily practice of the spiritual principles this thing we do has taught me to practice, isnt always such an easy proposition fer me. as simple as they may sound on paper, when the shovel hits the shit, i can often times tend to balk. when i let my self-will take over, practicin anythin spiritual is not the 1st thing i fall back on. the readin suggests practicin the spiritual principles of service and faith. fer me this means i have to let go of self-will, it means i have to listen and learn new behaviors. cultivatin faith means that i let go of lifelong conceptions and ideas rooted and imbedded deep within me. it means i have to “live and let live.” it means “easy does it.” it means i have to have tolerance and patience. it means i have to have faith. i can acquire these character attributes by doin service toward this thing we do and toward the people in it or out of it. when i do these things, i am practicin what i have learned. i have learned to practice forfeitin my self-will fer the will of somethin greater than i, my HP. 1 day @ a time…
