Meditations on "Dysfunction"

For some of us, coming into recovery has opened our eyes to the beauty of creation.

Fear is a disturbing emotion which is triggered by the expectation that something unpleasant is about to happen.

To live with wisdom in recovery requires humility. We need to acknowledge, “I don’t really know what is best for me but I’m willing to try new ways and learn from the experience of others.

Being conscious of who we are and our place in life is often considered to be “self-perception.

Anger in our society is rampant. Most of us have a hard time dealing with anger.

What a refreshing feeling it is to be free from the guilt of our addiction and dependencies.

From the chaos of our dysfunctional lives many of us called out to God with words like, “God if you are really there, please help me”.

As we consider our future, we need to take time to reflect on where we have been and where we want to go from here.

As we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Christ’s birth, some of us may have negative memories and regrets about past Christmases.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

We tend to base our security on the experience of our personal relationships with others.

God's kingdom runs on the laws of love and peace. It really does!
