"If I can't recognize the love that already exists in my life, would I really appreciate receiving more? Let me acknowledge what has already been given to me."
I work in the childrens room of our town library. The kids are always so excited. I have a few personally close kids who love coming into my office, giving me hugs, etc. Im blessed with a really great close friend. Coming to have close Al-Anon friends. Things are on a good note with my A husband. I love my son.
I need to stop and acknowledge how wonderful these people are to me.
"If I can't recognize the love that already exists in my life, would I really appreciate receiving more? Let me acknowledge what has already been given to me."
WOW! It is so funny how God puts the right things in my life at the right time.
I get so selfish, saying that people don't show their love enough to me, my addict husband, my mother in law, my dad, siblings...
But if I look at the above, maybe it is me that is not receiving it right. I am not accepting it in the box it comes in.
I can be the same way with my HP too. He will give me great blessings in a day, and I take them as hindernaces, or miss them compltely...
Yikes, I haven't read Courage to Change for 3 days, I definitely struggle with this one.
I have always wanted more love, more attention, more, more, more. Never content, this thought occurred to me about 2 moths ago, "if so and so, or such and such, had paid more attention to me or loved me more, it still wouldn't have been enough. That's when I realized, this is my problem, noone else's"
WOW! It is so funny how God puts the right things in my life at the right time.
