Turn Dreams into Useful Creativity

November 27 - The Gamblers Anonymous Program shows us how to transform the pipe dreams of our pasts into a comfortable reality and true sense of purpose, together with a growing consciousness of the power of God in our lives.  It's all right to keep our heads in the clouds with Him, we're taught, but our feet should remain firmly planted here on earth.  Here's where other people are; here's where our work must be accomplished.

Do I see anything incompatible between my God-consciousness and a useful life in the here and now?

Today I Pray - May my new "reality" include not only the nuts and bolts and pots and pans of daily living, but also my spiritual reality, my growing knowledge of the presence of God.  May the new reality have room, too, for my dreams, not the mind-drifting fantasies of the past or the remnants of my delusions, but the products of a healthy imagination.  May I respect these dreams, anchor them in earth's possibilities, and turn them into useful creativity.

Today I Will Remember - Heaven has a place in the here and now.
