What's Your Understanding?

 What is YOUR understanding?... 

On the surface, it’s a simple question, however the answer can become complex. 

It is a hard question because there are so many different answers that come from so many people, places, and things. 

The confusion sets in when we try to analyze, compare, and contrast all of the perceptions, opinions, and so called “facts” that others are willing to provide. 

I can’t answer this question for you or anyone else for that matter. 

It’s not because I don’t care because those that know me, know that I do care very deeply about this. 

I cannot give you a God of your understanding, and I hope you are not allowing others to force theirs upon you. 

I will lovingly and unselfishly share my experience, strength, hope, and God with you but… 

in order to know God you MUST create your own relationship with him, based upon YOUR OWN experience and understanding…

I love you all but please check your experience and know that for me, to coin a phrase that has meaning to me…

” Jesus IS the Reason for the Season"… 

“Perhaps there is a better way-we think so. For we are now on a different basis of trusting and relying upon God. We trust infinite God rather than our finite selves.” Big Book pg. 68 

Lord, let us open our hearts and invite You into our lives so that we may know You as well as You know and love each and every one of us, AMEN. 

“Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?” Matthew 16:15

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Knowing Peace

Knowing peace... 

While most days are very enjoyable for me, this time of the year is very special. 

To see folks filled with a spirit of giving, hearts focused on helping, and the genuine spirit of joy and hope I see in others humbles me and brings feelings of gratefulness. 

Now it’s only my opinion from my own experiences, and I am sure it is different for others, but I believe that this is the time of year where folks open their hearts and let the love inside overflow to be shared with others. 

Race, religion, color, creed, culture, and belief systems are set aside, and for the better part of this month we set aside our differences and celebrate our common journey. 

For me, this is how Christ works in us and through us. 

Maybe that is why there are so many Christmas songs that have the words peace and love in them! 

Are you feeling peace?... 

Check your experience… 

“We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.” Big Book pg. 84 

Lord, let the peace of your Spirit fill our hearts and overflow to cover our relationships with others, AMEN. 

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.” Colossians 3:15

Best Gift Ever

The best gift ever… 

Almost everyone has an example of the best present they have ever received. 

Usually, folks associate this pleasant thought with a Christmas present, a significant life change, or an important event like a marriage or the birth of a child. 

Just like most of the things I share here, it depends on your experience, I totally agree and understand that. I have 4 significant things in my life that I consider as the best… 

Miss Tami, Miss Kai, and my blessed sobriety are 3,

but they are all predicated by my relationship with Jesus. 

I am far from perfect and do not deserve any of these gifts, but through my constant work on a daily relationship with Jesus, ...

I get to enjoy not only Miss Tami, Miss Kai, and my sobriety, but also so many other things that make this life worthwhile. 

So, what is your best present ever?... 

Check your experience… 

“See to it that your relationship with Him is right, and great events will come to pass for you and countless others. This is the Great Fact for us. Abandon yourself to God as you understand God.” Big Book pg. 164 

Lord, let us investigate our hearts and see how Your love and grace has delivered us a life far beyond what we deserve, AMEN. 

“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” 1 Peter 3:15
