Happy New Year.

For many of us it’s a fresh start, to engage in new resolutions, to look ahead with Hope.

Every day, someone comes into their very first AA meeting and plants their ass in a seat in the back of the room. They hope to be unseen because that’s how they feel.

They know they are desperate.

They don’t have any options left.

They don’t know what to expect.

They are hoping for a miracle to end their suffering.

Those of us who have been there know what it’s like.

God lives in that room and wants a hand to be extended to begin the journey to save that person’s life.

My resolution this year is to be that hand, and be what God wants me to be each day.

 

God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
