April 14, 2019 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Sunday, April 14, 2019
Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Our deeds will travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are. — George Eliot

We grow within, the way a tree does. We’ve all seen the rings representing the years of a tree’s life. We carry our histories with us, too. Our actions, our attitudes, our goals, and our dreams all gather together inside us to make us what we are today. We’re probably ashamed of some of our past, but our behavior each day adds to our history, and we control it.

We can’t escape our mistakes, but we don’t have to repeat them; and every day that is lived well gives us a history to be proud of.

How can I add goodness to my past—and my future—by my actions today?
