The Grace of God
July 26, 2022 Dear God, good morning. I’m grateful that I can come to you any time of the day and breathe, pause, and proceed. I was sneezing most of the night. Not sure why. I felt healthy yesterday, but then I felt tired and weak. I shut my phone off and rested. Today’s reading is about “The Grace of God.” I’m not sure what the “Grace of God” means. According to the Scriptures, it can mean many things. Such as God speaking to Moses. It writes, “Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will do what you ask, because I know you very well, and I…

Love in the Fellowship
July 29, 2022 Good morning, God. It was four-thirty in the morning, and I couldn’t go back to sleep. Gary has this lovely book named “The Life Recovery Bible.” I would love to get this book. Yesterday was a little emotional when I was writing to you, God. I want to focus on love from Corinthians. Gary’s book reports, I can relate to these topics on love. The first topic is that my parents expressed no love in my home, no affection, no hugs, no kisses, and no empathy. All I had was my sisters and brother. I took a psychology class for Social Work, and the psychiatrists claimed that…

Love Rejoices in Truth
July 28, 2022 Dear God, good morning. Yesterday Gary had me read his Life Recovery Bible. It says in Corinthians, “Love is the Greatest. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude It does not demand its way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Corinthians is my favorite part of the Bible. It writes, “Love is more than a feeling; it’s choosing to behave in a loving way.” It…

I Have God’s Grace in my Heart
July 8, 2022 Dear God, good morning. I’ve been up since three, and I’m tired, but I wanted to write to you. Today’s reading from God’s Promises for every day it writes. “What The Bible has to say about, The Return of Christ.” I do believe in heaven because the Bible says it. They said, Men of Galilee, why are you standing here looking into the sky? Jesus, whom you saw taken up from you into heaven, will come back the same way you saw him go.” Act 1:11 From what I’ve read, Jesus, the angels will come down from the heavens, and war will break out between good and…

Relapse Without Dignity
July 24, 2022 Dear God, good morning. Thank you for a lovely day at Hampton Beach yesterday. We saw the sun rising over the gigantic ocean, and the sea looked like diamonds were dancing on top of the water. When we walked towards to water yesterday, Gary said, “Go ahead, do a better job…Gary is struggling with organizing his life. Please give him the strength to help him focus on self-care and self-love, which I hope he finishes his computer course. Please let Gary know that you have always been there for him. He’s my big brother and needs your love. Today’s reading from the Scripture wrote about God’s love…

Alcoholic in the Making
July 21, 2022 Dear God, good morning. I’ve been up since four thirty this morning. I got ready for my day already. Today’s reading is about “Doubting Yourself.” I always doubted myself because my self-esteem told me I was not good enough. This stems from my childhood. I was seven years old when my mother said, “I brought you into this world. I can take you out!” My mother was pure evil at that time. When my father left the house for good, my mother began to punish us all. My mother would use the belt buckles to whip our naked bodies, usually on our backs, because no one could…

End stage alcoholism
July 19, 2022 Dear God, good morning. Yesterday I went to Revere Beach and bathed in the sun, and then I called Terri. I told her I was taking time out to do something fun for myself. Terri was happy because I needed to be alone for a while. Then I went to my Club 24 to play cards with the old-timers. In the fellowship, the elders have over forty-five or fifty years of sobriety. I adore the old-timers. They give me hope to stay sohba, and I love them all. They make me laugh, and sometimes I’ll make them some dessert. In today’s reading, it was about being dissatisfied.…

“The Peace That I Have Found Within”
How beautiful it is, the peace that I have found within, for life can be difficult, life can be painful, life can be heartbreaking, life can be unapologetic, life can make your knees buckle, but you can stand tall at the end, have faith In Him. I understand there are many of you that have different beliefs than I do, but we are all sitting on the same sinking ship, we just have different views from which we sit, I pray for us all. My faith is strong, and my prayers are continuous, I refuse to let adversity interrupt my spiritual growth, uninterrupted it shall remain, for the clock ticks loudly. Through trial…

Everyday Stress
July 17, 2022 Dear God, good morning. “God’s Promises for every day,” today’s reading is “What to do when you are Frantic and Stressed.” This is a big order, and I get frantic and stressed out. I know I can breathe, pause to calm me down, or I have to go to my room and cry or write to you, Jesus. Roman came in the room saying a guy said, “Be safe, Roman.” Just what Roman needs to hear. He is terrified of people, especially when his schizophrenia flares up. I have to live with someone who suffers from that illness. Thank you, God, for teaching me patience this morning.…

Peace at Heart
July 16, 2022 Dear God, good morning. Today’s reading is about peace. I wish I had more peace in my life. I have peace most of the time, except poor Roman has schizophrenia and is unaware of boundaries. He’ll be talking to you, and then he can’t stop talking negatively. Roman can’t control himself. I love Roman like a brother, but he’s up my ass and Gary’s. My little brown book states, “God has given us a son. He will be responsible for leading his people. His name will be Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God, Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace. Power and peace will be his Kingdom and will…
