Since I have come out from under my bondage from alcohol and drugs I have come to believe. Reading the Saint Francis Prayer, I realize today that my “now” expectations of myself will never be achieved even though I try. However, when I consider where I am today, having turned my will and my life over to a higher power rather than the lower one I followed for all those years. I am literally “Light” years ahead of where I was. 

I must always remember.. Progress not perfection.

As it says in the bigger book when Paul was speaking to the Romans of the day, “We all fall short of the glory of God.” If I choose to, I can rest in that statement as a truism for myself and all mankind. Acceptance of God’s Grace is the answer to all my problems today.
