May 26, 2021 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. — Oscar Wilde

We all change. We learn, and change, and grow. We once made alcohol or other drugs our Higher Power. Perhaps we had other Higher Powers too—like money, gambling, food, or sex. But it’s never too late to be in touch with a true Higher Power. Each day we do this, we deepen our recovery. Each day we follow a false higher power, we feed our disease.

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, help me put my life and will in Your hands today. Help me be a saint, just for today.

Action for the Day

How have my ideas about saints and sinners changed since I got into a Twelve Step program? I’ll talk with my sponsor about it today.
