Today's thought for Hazelden is:
Most of all, let love guide your life . . . -- Colossians 3:14
Envy of another's good fortune puts distance between us. We forget fortune visits us all, though it's frequently disguised in experiences we dread. Resentments over forgotten appointments or misplaced mementos also result in distances that discourage the growth we deserve.
How different the days will unfold when we greet each person, every experience with a warm heart, the gesture of friendship, and a calm spirit.
With feelings of love guiding our thoughts and grooming our actions, we're certain of finding pleasure in all the tiny crevices of life.
