June 21, 2021 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

 

Monday, June 21, 2021

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Each small task of everyday life is part of the total harmony of the universe. — Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

When we stop to think about it, it becomes clear that we are a tiny part of our Higher Power’s creation. Consider the growing seasons of plants, the daily rising and setting of the sun, the miracles of birth and death. The cycles go on, creating a rhythm, an order in nature.

We can choose to be part of nature’s order. We can eat healthy, exercise, and sleep enough to care for our health. We can keep our living space clean and neat. We can join in the work of life and be part of the human community. We can make it easy by developing good habits.

In order to go with nature’s flow, we need to pay attention. That’s what we do in our daily prayer and meditation. We work on conscious contact with our Higher Power and practice being part of the harmony of nature.

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, please help me calm down and go with your flow. Help me contribute well to your world.

Today’s Action

Today I will think about my basic living tasks. Do I do them well, making a good base for my life?
