Recovery Meditations

Where’s your “happy place”? When one types “happy place” into an image search on Google the pictures that come up are, young hands holding older wrinkled hands; a wedding celebration; friends jumping for joy in the outdoors; a young child looking peacefully on a baby; someone resting in a hammock; a rainbow in the sky; a beautiful beach with waves of blue sea; a lovely cup of coffee.

The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out.

How different each day in recovery becomes when we walk and talk with God.

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

There is no such thing as satisfaction in a self-directed life.

God invites us to live each day consciously obeying His spiritual principles as recorded in the Bible.

Some of us, when we get over the celebration of Christmas and New Year, may start to wonder what it was all about.

Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

Political leaders have come and gone. Sometimes we like those who have been elected to power and other times we wonder what happened on the campaign trail.

The season of Christmas celebrations and New Year holidays has gone for another year.

We want to behave better this year than in previous years.

We are just a few days into the new year. We look to this coming year with renewed hope.
