Faith


Faith is more than our greatest gift; its sharing with others is our greatest responsibility. May we of A.A. continually seek the wisdom and the willingness by which we may well fulfill that immense trust which the Giver of all perfect gifts has placed in our hands.

Bill W., Grapevine Magazine, April 1961

Who did the image?

Adrienne said...

Irene - It came from a site calle Our Catholic Faith and none of the pictures in their picture gallery have identification - which is too bad as it is a really pretty picture.

They could probably be contacted for the info.

This guy really had a grip on his life and alcoholism as a disease. Writing stuff like this indicates a profound understanding of this disease and the human reaction to it. An obvious gift from the "Giver of perfect gifts."

Tom - "Giver of perfect gifts"

Don't you just love that?

Tom, I believe a couple of people previously have observed that it is not a disease.
