Feb. 11, 2020 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2020
Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
If anything, we have tended to be people who wanted it all now. To hope is not to demand. — Anonymous
Maybe we were a bit demanding. Maybe we were a bit impatient. Maybe that’s why we had such little hope.
Hope is believing good will come, even in bad times. Hope is knowing that “this, too, shall pass.” Hope is knowing that no matter how afraid we are, our Higher Power will be with us. Hope is knowing we never have to be alone again. It is knowing that time is on our side. Hope is giving up control. Hope is knowing we never had control in the first place. Hope is believing in ourselves. Hope is what our program is all about.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, in our program we share our experiences, our strengths, and our hopes. Thank You for giving all three of these to me to share.
Action for the Day
I will share my hope for the future with myself, my Higher Power, and my friends. I also will share this with someone who has lost hope.
Hazelden Foundation
