Good Morning CR Family! Please see below for the Recovery Thought
of the Day from Dorothy. Don't forget to tune into CR Friday Night live
tomorrow at 6:30pm. Tomorrow Dana, Nan and I are going to play "12
Step Roulette." It should be a lot of good discussion on recovery,
while we have a little fun at the same time (See Youtube Link in
announcements at the end of this E-mail). Also, see announcements for
new sign up links for Friday's on-line open share group meetings at
7:30pm!
Recovery Thought of the Day
Step by Step and One day at a time
We need to take this step by step and day at a time to conquer this
isolation of the virus. If you feel like you are in the darkness to get
to the light it is done by one step at a time. Frozen II even talks
about this in the movie. Anna, the sister without powers ended up in a
dark place. She thought she lost Elsa and everybody she loved, before
the snowman died he notice there was light at the end of the tunnel. She
started to take a step in front of the other towards that light. In CR
we talk about taking one day at a time to reach the light. We also can
take the same guidance in our lives during this time of isolation. We
could be conquer by enjoying this time to get closer with Jesus and
enjoy some quiet time with the Lord. In this world it is easy to be
distracted from Him and not enjoy what we have on Earth. Darkness can be
an disillusion and tell lies about who we are in Christ. For me I am
finally taking the time to deep clean the house, color or draw, and
focus on what the Lord wants me to do next. I am trying not to run and
panic like I did in the past. I am working on patience and taking it one
day at a time and enjoying every minute of it.
Questions:
What distractions have kept you from God? If you are in darkness what
steps can you take to get to the light? And the steps to taking one day
at a time to enjoy the moment of it?
