It has been so good to visit other Celebrate Recoveries. Jane and I visited Tampa Baptist on Sunday evening. God knows what we need. It felt so good to see everyone. Linda and Orvil are the leaders there. They shared their story on our first meeting at TTUMC. Their lives have been dramatically changed. Monday night we had four newcomers and you could see that they wanted to be here. The lesson was on making amends and I was talking about living amends that we do on a regular basis. We can’t take an easer and ease things that have been done or said, but we can mend our relationships. Being willing to repair the damage we’ve done comes from the heart. In our disease we had no clue the people we hurt. This past week-end I made amends in a small way. My daughter and I have a wonderful relationship now. She saw me recover and knows that Christ has made a difference in my life. Being in recovery for 18 years is awesome but to continue to grow in Christ’s likeness is more than I ever imagined. I didn’t know that making amends would bring love. Celebrate Recovery can give you hope. You don’t have to stay where you are. Healing can take place in your relationships. The first relationship we really need is with our Lord. He changes your attitude and your heart. He takes away the hardness and gives you gentleness. It doesn’t happen in a few weeks and it does take doing your part (the steps)for that change to happen. I sincerely hope that you will find the love and happiness too. It is worth all the effort!!!
