To make the world a friendly place,
One must show it a friendly face.

~James Whitcomb Riley

We are beginning to learn that we get what we expect. Why? If we believe that people are out to get us, we’ll not treat them well. We will think it’s okay to “get them” before they “get us.” Then, they’ll be angry and want to get even. And on it goes.

It’s great when we can meet the world with a balance. We are now honest people. We can expect others to be fair with us. We get the faith, strength, and courage to do this because of our trust in our Higher Power.
Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, help me to find reminders today that the world can be a friendly place. I will put my best face forward and hope that my good energy will be reflected back.
Action for the Day

Today I’ll spread friendliness. I will greet people with a smile.

Today's reading is from the book Keep it Simple, Daily Meditations for Twelve Step Beginnings and Renewal
