To Harmonize

.

“The world is not

to be put in order;

the world is order,

incarnate.

It is for us

to harmonize

with this order.”

.

~ Henry Miller

.

God has already placed your song within your soul,

listen closely and you will discover that it will harmonize

well with the Song of the Uni-verse.

Today, do not get out of order, know that the lyrics

are always the same, kindness and forgiveness for all,

and that the world order of the muse is love.

Recovery is to harmonize with the order of the world.

Sobriety is a blessing from a Higher Power.

Expectation Addicts

.

.

“A prayer for expectation addicts:

‘Show up. Shine. Let it go.’

Expectations shrink your shine

and weigh you down with

worry and equations.”

.

~ Danielle LaPorte

.

.

What did you really expect ? ? ?

Today, you can sit back and wait ,

knowing that eventually the train

will come down the track and run you over

or you can lay a new set of tracks that will move you

toward peace of mind and serenity.

Today, let a loving Higher Power lead you towards

a station filled with kindness, hope and forgiveness.

Today, share the shine, be the conductor

with no expectations.

Recovery is to show up, shine and let it go.

Sobriety is a blessing from a Higher Power.

“Work and Wait”

.

.

“Work and wait”,

“work and wait”,

that is what God

says to us in creation.”

.

~ Josiah Gilbert Holland

.

.

God will give you the chance, the choice is yours.

Today, work to create a life that is built around

doing the will of your loving Higher Power.

Today, love, laugh, be patient, be tolerant,

be kind and be the person God wants you to be.

Today, know that good choices will not have to

wait long to be rewarded with the blessings of

the loving Spirit of the Uni-verse.

Recovery is to “work and wait”.

Sobriety is a blessing from a Higher Power.

One Happiness

.

“There is only

one happiness in life,

to love

and

be loved.”

.

~ George Sand

.

Amo, amas, amat.

I love, you love, they love.

Love of self, love of others and love of Nature,

the world of the Great Creator as we understand it.

Love is a deep affection, passion or strong liking for life

and the happiness that this emotion creates in us.

Today, be happy, be kind, be patient and tolerant,

be forgiving, be compassionate, love and be loved.

Recovery is to love and be loved.

Bless Us

.

“Whatever defect I have

in my sight, in my heart or mind,

may God amend!

May He,

the Protector of the World,

bless us.”

.

~ Yajur Veda 36.2

.

First, there is a God and it is not you or me.

Second, God made us perfect but we must admit

at times that our choices are defective.

Thirdly, and most importantly,

we know that God’s forgiveness is a blessing

for which we must always be grateful for.

Today, before you make the wrong choice,

the one that needs amending,

seek God’s will to do the next right thing.

Recovery is to know that God can amend our defects.

Grow Up

.

.

When

we

grow

up.

.

.

Eventually,

you have to stop blaming

your parents.

Nurture nature.

Hard done by, won by

Inherited, genetic, prophetic, pathetic.

Too big, too little, too flat, too tight.

Domineered, engineered, relegated, antiquated.

Abandoned. Held too tight taking flight.

.

~ Danielle LaPorte

.

Recovery is to grow up and stop blaming.

Possible Objections

.

“Nothing will

ever be attempted

if all possible

objections

must be first

overcome.”

.

~ Samuel Johnson

.

I object.

Objection over ruled.

The human judge and jury will be out forever,

only the loving Great Creator will know

the true motivation for the action.

Don’t wait, do the next right thing, change,

be kind, be the person God wants you to be,

the person trying to make this world a better place,

in spite of the objections.

Recovery is to make the attempt in spite of the objections.

Sobriety is a blessing from a Higher Power.
