#2272 Thought For Today
Honor and enjoy your Creator while you’re still young Before the years take their toll and your vigor wanes Before your vision dims and the world blurs And the winter years keep you close to the fire. Ecclesiastes 12:1-2
This is a call to action to the young. Today my son Duncan turns 23. At the age of 23, I entered recovery for the first time. At the age of 23, I began a journey that made me who I am today. Now at the age of 55 (56 in May) the urge to seek and to do God’s will is so more urgent. Today my life is inspired to ‘Be different and make a difference.’ So others might see the Lord in me and seek Him as they walk the road to recovery in His presence.

#2269 What The Bible Says
Meetings are important. “Take this most seriously: A yes on earth is yes in heaven; a no on earth is no in heaven. What you say to one another is eternal. I mean this. When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action. And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I’ll be there.” Matthew 18:18-20

#2268 Living Life Recovery Reflection
God is Listening
Psalms 69:33 The Lord hears those who are in need. He doesn’t forget his people in prison.
It’s still amazes me, so many years after being in recovery to look back and see God’s intervention.
I remember times where I have thought ‘this is it, it’s all over now.’ And believed it was. Then something out of the ordinary happened. Something that made it possible for me to cope and to go on in hope.
We can’t always see what God is doing in our lives on our behalf He assures us He is always watching, always waiting to help us and always ready to do for us what we can’t do for ourselves.
- Take time today to stop! To talk to God about the seemingly impossible things in your life and to thank Him for His assistance with them
Prayer: Thank You Lord for all the times You have intervened in my life without me knowing. Help me today to remember to include You in what I do
