    FEBRUARY 19 Reflection for the Day

    When people say rash or ugly things, we sometimes say they are “forgetting themselves,” meaning they’re forgetting their best selves in a sudden outburst of uncontrolled fury. If I remember the kind of person I want to be, hopefully I won’t “forget myself” and yield to a fit of temper. I’ll believe that the positive always defeats the negative: courage overcomes fear: patience overcomes anger and irritability: love overcomes hatred.

    Am I always striving for improvement?

    Today I Pray
    Today I ask that God, to whom all things are possible, help me turn negatives into positives – anger into super-energy, fear into a chance to be courageous, hatred into love. May I take time out to remember examples of such positive-from-negative transformations from the whole of my lifetime. Uppermost is God’s miracle: my freedom from the slavery of gambling addiction.

    Today I Will Remember
    Turn negatives into positives.
