England Dan & John Ford Coley – Love Is The Answer (1979)

This song describes for me the profoundly ! healing power of genuine service toward others. long and short term. real oldie! very gentle though.
I have been ‘saved’ by service when things went wrong for me (as they do everybody) My service carried me till i came out the other end. And it brings blessings and good fortune into your life. in totally ! unpredictable forms. well thats what i think. and in exchange for what? ..Just for trying our lousy ! best to do the ‘next right thing’ on a daily basis.
Sounds like a fair swap to me

thank you for the reminder. my son nearly dying in february was as close as i have come to a full blown relapse and i eve reset my abstinence date for my compulsive overeating anniversary. i can’t imagine how difficult it would be to be given the junk without even being asked. so proud of you for putting it back down.

i mailed your package yesterday. the art piece from the facebook meme. i started it right after you signed up – but had NO idea at the time how poignant it would be for right now. as i put the finishing touches on it yesterday and drove it over the river to mail it made me smile to know that our higher power somehow knew this was exactly the right words and i hope you like it. it’s not perfect, but i knew that starting it over would put off the timeliness of the words. i really hope you like it. i was surprised at how much i did when it was all finished. i think you may even get it tomorrow, but probably monday. much love and prayers.

For if an alcoholic failed to perfect and enlarge his spiritual life through work and self-sacrifice for others, he could NOT survive the CERTAIN trials and low spots ahead. p14

See? Your former service was money in the bank for this experience. We NEED it when things go wrong. Just like this quote says. I NEED it. Thats why service is a daily focus in my recovery. Its all preparation for “he CERTAIN trials and low spots ahead.” p14

It is a design for living that WORKS in ROUGH going. p15
There is scarcely any form of trouble and misery which has not been overcome among us. p15

Cool. yep. it works if you work it. Simple but not easy. Very ego puncturing process! but it works like a charm. and this experience is yet further proof of the same.

Keep on keepin on Chris.
