Meditations on ""

As we come to the end of this year, a year filled with both accomplishments and failures, it’s time to reflect on the events that brought growth and joy in our journey with God in recovery.

Many of us face a new year wondering about the unknown.

How long are we prepared to do the daily ordinary things we need to do while we wait for God to bring about the plans He has prepared in advance for us to do?

Most people who are in recovery want to learn from the experience, strength, and hope of others.

Those of us who have acted on the saying “God could and would, if He were sought” have witnessed the blessing of God in our lives.

After all the hype and preparation for Christmas we now get back to quieter days before the New Year celebration.

Jesus is born – born for us. The God who created heaven and earth put on flesh and was born in humble circumstances so we could experience love and find hope for a relationship with God that lasts forever.

The very heart of God is enduring love, and nothing will ever change that.

Many children will go to bed tonight with the thought “One more sleep until Santa Claus comes.

The celebration of Christmas encourages us to give gifts to those we care about.

For those of us who live in the northern hemisphere this is both the shortest day and the longest night of the year.

What came first, the chicken or the egg? When we called out to God in our powerlessness, did we suddenly show up on His “locating system” or was He already waiting for us to call so He could help us?
