Something funny happen yesterday and wanted to share it.  I decided to join the recovering abf for a walk around a lake in the drizzling rain.  He asked if we could bring our program books and read them afterwards in the car.  He said he just wasn't in a good place. He bagged eight books and brought them along.

It was a nice walk. We saw and heard some birds and got some exercise. When we got back to the car, we stayed in the parking lot awhile and the rain kept coming down. He got the books out and split them between us. We had AA, Alanon and non conference approved books. We took turns reading them aloud. I let him have the ones he really likes to read since he'd said he wasn't having a good day.  It was a nice experience to sit quietly in the car with the rain coming down sharing daily readings.

Then the funny thing happened. I looked out the windshield as he was reading and saw a little car parked in the corner of the lot. It's license said Hly God. When he finished reading I pointed it out to him. We smiled. We continued reading. Shortly after a woman came from the lake wearing a windbreaker and floppy canvas hat and got into the god mobile and drove off.  Tonight we went for a walk again but this time just around the neighborhood.  Neither of us had very much to say.  Then I said to bf, "That was pretty funny what happened last night with the license plate, don't you think?" "Yeah," he said.  I asked bf... "Did you ever think god would look like that?"  He said, "Never!"  "Me either," I said.  Then bf says, "I thought god was a short old man who smoked cigars!" :p  

Thanks for letting me share with you.    TT
