Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Today's thought from Hazelden is:Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.--Lida sonWe all want life to unfold according to our plan. After all, we are certain we know what's best for us. But hindsight quickly reminds us that few, if any, of us had included recovery in a Twelve Step program as part of our life's plan. Yet here we are, and we are now more content than we've ever been in our lives. How did this happen?We have come to accept that God has worked in our lives in spite of ourselves. We have been protected and guided all along the way, even though on occasion we stubbornly attempted to force open doors that were not beneficial to our growth. Fortunately our Higher Power never gave up on us. We will fulfill our purpose with all the help we need when the time is right.Remembering that opportunities come to us when their time is right allows us to wait and trust.My patience will pay off today. I can be certain that what comes to me today is on time. You are reading from the book: A Woman's Spirit by Casey A Woman's Spirit by Casey. Copyright 1994 by Hazelden Foundation.
