March 16, 2021 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

 

Tuesday, March 16, 2021

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. — Psalm 30:5

It’s important to know we are not to blame if we didn’t learn when we were children what we needed to know about relationships and living a healthy life. It’s not a child’s job to teach themselves what is needed to live happily.

It may be difficult as adults to learn the things we should have learned as children and adolescents, but it is not impossible. We can rely on the courage, strength, and humility we show by being willing to live in recovery “One day at a time.” We can also ask our Higher Power to help us develop our spirituality, which gives us the inner truth we need to live.

We may feel angry sometimes or get tired of struggling, but we must have faith that we can do it. The yearning within us to have relationships and to contribute our skills and talents must become reality. Continuing to grow gives us a sense of accomplishment and a wider world that is ours to experience.

Today I will feel proud of my ability to take risks in order to enlarge my life.
