Recovery Meditations

In the Bible we read of all the good things that God does for those who have given their will and life into his care.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

We all need hope. Today we are affirming the hope within us that what has been impossible for us to do on our own becomes possible when we reach out for help to a power greater than ourselves.

Practicing an attitude of gratitude – is this just a happy little slogan or is it a way of daily living that will change our outlook on life?

What is loyalty? Someone who is loyal is dependable and will do what they have committed to do.

When we are troubled and looking for help, who or what first enters our mind?

In the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous there is a section on making amends and sorting things out with our families.

To be complete means that nothing is lacking. Some people have health, wealth, possessions, honour and prestige in the community.

There is a right time for everything, and everything on earth will happen at the right time.

A person with hope looks forward with reasonable confidence to something that will take place.

Peace and serenity are gifts to be received. They are treasures to be chosen.

Being a phony is an intensely tiring way to live. Giving false impressions and lying to cover up attitudes or behaviours drains us of energy and joy.
