It's the first Monday of 2022 and we could all use a Mantra or two or TEN that will keep us motivated to continue working toward our New Year resolutions. Let us know which ones speak to you or share your own in the comment section! You never know who might need to hear exactly what you have to say. What Makes a Good Mantra?5 Tips for Ringing in the New Year without Ruining Your RecoveryIt's hard to believe this year is coming to a close, but I guess we say that pretty much every year. The days go by slow, but the years go by fast. Whether you are in active addiction, reevaluating your relationship with drugs or alcohol, or searching for tips to help you continue on your recovery journey - it is our prayer that 2022 be the year you seek God and rid yourself of anything that doesn't grow you closer to him. What is weighing you down?No obstacle we encounter, no difficulty we endure, nothing, absolutely nothing is too big for God. There is not a concern too small that he doesn't care. There is not an issue too large that he is not in control. Yes, he is sovereign over everything. So what problem are you experiencing that Jesus can't solve? Friendship is important in all stages of life, but it is especially essential when we face struggles we are not equipped to handle on our ownGod did not put us on this Earth alone.
We are here to do life together. He gave us his Son as an example of how we are to live and love. He gave us the Holy Spirit as our guide. And he graciously gifted us friendship with those we've chosen to spend our time with. Let Your Joyful Presence be Your PresentThis list is a simple reminder of what we should truly focus on this Christmas season. As our favorite holiday is fast approaching let's take a few moments to slow down and remember what Christmas is all about. There's a difference between being alone and being lonelyWe all experience periods of loneliness at times. Life is full of hills and valleys. Just because you may be alone does not require that you must feel lonely. There are many benefits to spending time focusing on yourself, especially in early addiction recovery. Unique Grandparent GiftsHere at Your Praying Friend seniors are very near and dear to our hearts. Whether Christmas, birthday or Grandparent's Day we often find found ourselves wracking our brains trying to think of what to purchase for our own elderly loved ones. If your grandparents are anything like ours - they tend to have all that they need and don't truly desire another knick knack or throw blanket (although those are nice gifts). Give something special and meaningful instead. Give the gift of friendship through our senior pen pal service! "Secrets Keep Us Sick"Secrets keep us sick is a common phrase you hear in any addiction recovery room. It is an obvious known fact that when we are living a double life - it can't last forever. We may be able to lie, manipulate, and keep up a fasade for awhile, but everything that is done in the dark comes to light. (1 Corinthians 4) |
