IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

07.24.09

We have learned that the satisfaction of instincts cannot be the sole end and aim of our lives. ~12 & 12
.
Today I am grateful...
  • for big thunder, big rain, big cooling off
  • that Mary Christine has hit twenty-five years in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous
  • that the serious relapse dream I had this morning was just that, a dream
  • that we are attending a design function this morning, followed by a luncheon
  • that my life now is all recovery, all the time

Even when it hurts like hell, hold fast. The pain is the arrow coming out, not the arrow going in. Faith is not about trusting a God who will rescue you from arrows but trusting in the process. Faith will center you, not rescue you. ~Pocket Sponsor

Recovery is a design function.

I have weird anxiety dreams and ones with toilets overflowing. I am thankful that they are just dreams as well.

Glad the dream was just that, a dream.

I love the analogy of the arrow coming out and not going in.
