June 23, 2019 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Sunday, May 23, 2019
Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Let a joy keep you. Reach out your hands and take it when it runs by. — Carl Sandburg

There is a song that says joy is like the rain. It comes across our window pane and then goes away again. When joy comes knocking at our window we can reach out and let it in. Joy comes to us in many ways—through deep laughter, through games played together in a spirit of fun and sharing. Singing together, skating, and being around a campfire are all ways we share joy. Yet joy can also be felt alone.

Each moment of joy we reach for strengthens our spirits. Joyful memories can sustain us through days of long hard work. Like rain, joy comes and goes, yet its nourishment keeps our spirits alive.

How can I share my joy today?
