One of the meetings that we attend is going through some growing pains. It’s good for all of us as a group to experience the process of working through topics.
At times it can be very uncomfortable. Perserverence is required. What seems to be important to remember is to focus on what we can bring to the meeting instead of what we can take from it. When new at meetings it was more important for me to listen. I didn’t “get” what people were talking about, but I truly wanted to “get it”.
Now, my focus is more on what my presence can bring to the meeting most of the time. Rigourous honesty is a key here. We may never know what our Higher Power is using us for in a meeting, but we don’t need to know. My experience from listening to others share is that our honesty can touch another member in miraculous ways. The relief and clarity that I’ve gained – the new awarenesses – from another member’s humble, honest sharing has been invaluable. To find out that I’m not the only one going through a particular situation has provided me with serenity and sanity that was previously inaccessible to me. The generousity of other members has worked miracles in my life. And, it’s important to pass it on. So, keep coming back – it works.
