Recovery Thought of the Day - April 25th

Good Morning CR Family!  Please see below for today's Recovery Thought of the Day from Perry C. Also, if you missed it last night, make sure to check out our youtube channel for the CR Friday Night Live Video.

Forgiveness

I have two kids who are estranged from one another, and it breaks my heart.  They carry a lot of resentments from when they were growing up.  Unfortunately, they have never forgiven one another for not being perfect and for not providing the other perfect love.

I see this in CR as well.  As people who long for perfect love we have to forgive one another for not being able to give or receive love in our daily lives. My many needs constantly interfere with my ability to be there for others unconditionally.  Please forgive me for not being there for each of you when you wanted me to be. My love is limited.

But here’s the deal, relationships are not possible without the willingness to forgive one another “seventy-seven times” (check out Matthew 18:22). Forgiveness is what holds us in CR together through the good and bad times and allows us to grow in love.  Who will you forgive today for not being love/God in your life?

If you would like someone to reach out to you, text us your E-mail and name to 970-645-6109 and we will have someone from within CR reach out to you.

Note: The thought of the days along with other key updates will also be posted on our facebook page (Celebrate Recovery at Crossroads Church Facebook Page) and for those without facebook, they will also be posted on the following blog site: https://crossroadscr.blogspot.com

3. Fridays we will be hosting on-line open share group meetings at 7:30pm.  There will be one mixed issues group for men and one mixed issues group for women. Stay Tuned for Open Share Group Sign Up Links.  These meetings will take place using the Zoom App.  In order to participate you will need a tablet, smart-phone or computer with camera.  In order to ensure confidentiality of these meetings everyone who participates will need to find a private room to set up, have their camera on, so others can see that there is no one else in the room and they will also need to wear a pair of headphones so that they are the only ones that can hear.  This is a free app and you can download it on google play, apple app store or through your web-browser on your computer. For help on how to join a Zoom meeting please click on the the following link, which will take you to their support web-site Zoom Set-Up Help

Blessings,
