Our Side of the Mountain
I go to my AA meetings and listen to people tell their stories.
I sit and think, oh God they are talking about me.
I understand where they are coming from.
I was in their shoes for ten years of hell.
I turned things over to God to make me well.
I am thoughtful and friendly.
I think of other people and how hard they struggle.
One time I was living their heartaches and troubles.
I thought God hated me but soon found out he only wanted what was best for me.
God gave me twelve steps to climb one day at a time.
I am thoughtful and friendly.
I wake every morning and thank God for a new day.
My Life Today
This truly is a fact in my life today and a real miracle. I always believed in God but could never put that belief meaningfully into my life. Today, because of all that has been given to me, I have beautiful grandchildren who I love dearly. I now rely on God and I understand him. I am learning and I rely on God. This is something I could never have done alone. I now believe in miracles because I am one.
