Recovery Meditations

Who wants trouble? None of us do and if we listen to God’s counsel there’s a lot of trouble that we can avoid.

When God wants to paint a picture, He does so very effectively.

E One day Jesus and his followers discussed the challenges that people experience when they choose to give up self-will and follow God’s will.

Emotions, stress, illness, troubles in a relationship, or just talking about the past can trigger an obsession in us to relapse.

Our hope for healing is not centered on anything we may think we deserve but is founded on the grace of God towards us who believe in Jesus.

Too many of us carry a harsh picture of God and believe He looks for ways to be displeased with us.

Today is a day to honour fathers. Some of us are fathers.

We will come to experience a secure and happy life in recovery as we learn to be grateful and appreciate the smallest blessing in each day.

Whether we admit it or not, we all long for someone to listen to and care for us.

A common recovery saying is that “you must give it away in order to keep it”.

We are reminded repeatedly in the AA Traditions, the Twelve Step program, and the experience of many, that it is the simplicity and focus of sticking with one primary purpose that inspires us to help each another.

When a building is at the planning stage, blueprints need to be drawn up and submitted to the local district council for approval permits.
