“what a beautiful jigsaw puzzle God puts together for us, one piece at a time!”

Three readings. A song that says the rest. And inspiration for whatever this day is here to teach.

Stepping Stones: More Daily Meditations

Hazelden Foundation

We know how it felt to be lost or trapped and already half dead. That was before our rebirth in recovery. Now, we are free to live life to its fullest. This is not the path that most adults follow. It is easy to lapse into a less alive, less spiritually alert style. On our healing journey, we cannot afford that. We have been reborn! Today, I am grateful for this day and this moment of life; I breathe in all of Your love, Your forgiveness and Your spirit to move forward in Faith.

God Calling

A.J. Russell

All true Love is of God, and is God, so all true forgiveness is of God and is God. The self cannot forgive. Kill self. Cease trying to forgive those who fretted or wronged you. It is a mistake to even think about it. Aim at killing the self now—in your daily life, and then, and not until then, you will find there is nothing that even remembers injury, because the only one injured, the self, is dead.

Meditation for the Day

Hazelden Foundation

God's eternal quest must be the tracking down of souls; join Him in His quest! Through briars, through waste places, through glades, up mountain heights, down into valleys. God leads you. But ever with His leadership goes your helping hand. Glorious to follow where the Leader goes, you are seeking lost sheep. You are bringing the good news into places where it has not been known before. You may not know which soul you will help, but you can leave all results to God. Just go with Him in His eternal quest for souls. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may follow God in His eternal quest for souls. I pray that I may offer God my helping hand.
