There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. ~Edith Wharton
Today I am grateful…
- that I am not living in the northeast. Being trapped by snow storms is not where I want to be
- for laughing with friends and fellows to end the day
- that happiness is increased when shared
- that lately God has been giving me the words to say when I am uncertain
- that today and every day are chances to learn
Kindle my heart's flame with thy flame, may thy light banish darkness forever ~Jyota se Jyota
Our Higher Power is the candle. And our hearts, like a mirror, reflect a warm, loving glow. But when we used alcohol and other drugs, we tired to be the candle. We wanted to have control. Many of us acted like this to hide how out of control we felt. We never thought we could be happy by admitting we were out of control. In recovery, we accept that it’s okay to be the mirror. We accept that our Higher Power is the candle that guides us. ~Keep It Simple
