From "Give Thanks:"
"Though I still find it difficult to accept today's pain and
anxiety with any great degree of serenity -- as those more advanced
in the spiritual life seem able to do -- I can give thanks for
present pain nevertheless.
"I find the willingness to do this by contemplating the lessons
learned from past suffering -- lessons which have led to the
blessings I now enjoy. I can remember how the agonies of
alcoholism, the pain of rebellion and thwarted pride, have often led
me to God's grace, and so to a new freedom."
c. 1967, As Bill Sees It, page 266
