June 7, 2023 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

 

Wednesday, June 7, 2023

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Time is nature’s way of keeping everything from happening at once.

— Unknown

Time always seems to pass too slowly or too quickly for us. We want the fun times to last longer. We want the boring or painful times to go faster. But time goes at just the right pace. Any faster, and we wouldn’t have enough time to learn as we go. Any slower, and we’d lose interest. In our program, we learn to respect the pace of time. We let go, and we let time go at its own pace. We call this patience.

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, thank you for patience. Help me look forward to the future without rushing. Help me live fully in the here and now. Help me make today a good one by doing Your will.

Action for the Day

I’ll list five ways I can use time to be healthier in body, mind, and spirit. Which of these five things can I do today?
