Letting Our Trials Refine Us

3

I’ve been feeling a little put upon lately. Well, to be honest, for the past several years. And it’s been ticking me off so much that I’ve gained 40 pounds. And that ticks me off too. And in the midst of my ticked-offedness this morning, I read this verse of scripture: “For behold, I have […]

The Damage is NOT Irreparable

0

In a recent Twelve Step meeting I attended, someone shared about how much it bothers her when she does things that hurt others. It just throws her into a terrible state of brooding, . . . upset, . . . temptation to use her addictive behaviors. As I sit here and reflect on this truth […]

Irrational Kindness

0

God is irrationally kind by the ways of man. His ways are higher than our ways. His kindness is infinite. It can afford to be. Where He dwells and where we came from–and where we will eventually return –there is no limit to time. There is no limit to mercy and love. It is true […]

God Is Irrationally Kind

0

Recently I was reading the parable of the workers who come late to the field and yet the Lord pays them the same as those who came earlier. (See Matthew 20.) As I read, I saw how similar to the story of the prodigal son (in Luke 15) this story of the laborers in the […]

Abstinence Increases as We Share Our Experience, Strength and Hope with Others

0

My abstinence has changed a lot over the years. What and how and when I eat now is nothing compared to what and how and when I ate 25 years ago. If I had met my current self then, I would have been so impressed with me. The kind of abstinence I have now would […]

All These Things Shall Work Together

0

Therefore, he giveth this promise unto you, with an immutable covenant that they shall be fulfilled; and all things wherewith you have been afflicted shall work together for your good, and to my name’s glory, saith the Lord. (D&C 98:3) As I consider the pain of those who hurt so badly over experiences in their […]

To Parents of Wayward Children

0

When a child makes choices that lead them from the path of righteousness, it’s easy for a parent to become worried, fearful, upset, and controlling. We want the very best for our child—and we want it RIGHT NOW! We want to protect our child from the all the evils of this world but it becomes […]

Step 12: Sharing Our Experience, Strength and Hope

0

This morning I got up determined to go on my full 1 ½ mile walk. Never mind that I haven’t made it further than ¾ of a mile lately. Never mind that I’m still limping along with a broken toe. Never mind that I’m still recovering from a cold. I live in a fantasy world […]

There Is No Other Way But The Way of Imperfection (Part 2)

0

Read Part 1 Yesterday, we discussed how recovery often comes in an ebb and flow pattern of sanity and serenity. We find peace through Christ, and then we wander off to try life on our own again. I have to confess that it has been very hard for me to accept that is is the […]
