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

 

Friday, April 16, 2021

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Nothing is worth more than this day. — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Life — each day of it, each minute of it — is such a miracle. Let’s stop and think about it for a minute. Where does it come from? Why was it given to each of us?

Life is not the same for any two people. Every person has a life that is different from everyone else’s. Yet in some ways it is the same for all of us. We are all born, and we all die. We all lose people we love and welcome new people to love into our lives.

The flavor of life today — the exact mix of sunshine and clouds, happiness and sadness, courage and fear, love and loneliness — will never be the same again. Not tomorrow or the next day.

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, help me appreciate the beauty of your world and the richness of my life today.

Today’s Action

Today I will smile — at everyone.

Hazelden Foundation
