A Great Day for Recovery!

ACCEPTANCE

"The man who has become a thinking being feels a compulsion to give to every creature the same reverence for life that he gives to his own."
-- Albert Schweitzer

Today I accept people. Even the people with who I do not agree, I accept. My freedom is dependent upon my attitude towards others. My respect is rooted in the respect I give to others. God is to be found in my neighbor!

Nowhere is this more true for me as a religious person than in my attitude to people of other creeds --- and those who have none! The spiritual life that unites me to God and the world requires not only acceptance of "difference" but my personal need for it.

But more than this; even those who hurt, abuse and destroy need to be accepted from within my spiritual self --- because something of their life exists in mine. In this accepting love is the daily healing of my disease.

May my acceptance of the tyrant lead to the forgiveness of the self.

 

14 months clean and sober today, thanks for being part of my recovery

hugs, Wendy

There ain't a dream that don't have the chance
to come true now
It just takes a little faith
Anything that we want to do
We can do now
There ain't nothing in our way
Nothing our love couldn't rise above
We can get through the night
We can get to the light
Long as we got our love to light the way
With a little faith
just a little trust
If you believe in love
Love can move mountains
believe in your heart
And feel, feel it in your soul
And love, love can move mountains
Oceans deep and mountains high
They can't stop us
Because love is on our side
We can reach the heavens and touch the sky
Just believe it, believe in you and I
If we got love that is strong enough
We can do anything, make it through anything
'cuz through it all love will always find a way
With a little faith...
You believe in me
I'll believe in you
if we believe in each other
Nothing we can't do
If we got love that is strong enough
Love will find a way
with a little faith...
