Meditations on "Relationship"

The experience of life outside the will and care of God is helplessness and frustration when trials and temptations come our way.

To make restitution is to restore something that was stolen or lost.

In active addiction, trying to stay connected and maintain a close, healthy relationship with another was impossible.

Many of us have never been disciplined in the art of following through on the commitments we make.

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

When we say that God gives mercy, do we understand why?

We say we want to be followers of Jesus and have turned our will and our life over to His care.

Disgust is a reaction that arises when a person’s good taste or moral sense of respect is offended.

Honesty, balance, and realism are essential tools to keep at hand as we sort out and rebuild relationships.

When we came to admit that our lives were unmanageable, we knew that many decisions needed to be made if we were to choose for the road to recovery.

Who would have thought that the way we are living in our relationships, taking responsibility for our actions, and doing the work that is required of us each day, would attract others to think about getting what we have?

God’s desire is for us to enjoy loving and caring relationships with others.
