In Ann Patchett's recent novel "State of Wonder" she describes her heroine's success as not inspired by "bright bursts of inspiration but by the hard labor of a field horse pulling a plow."
That's how it feels much of the time, isn't it? We just put our heads down and place one foot in front of the other-like a plow horse.
But then in recovery there really are the times of "bright bursts of inspiration" when we realize we made the right decision, the loving decision...loving for others and for ourselves.
That's how life is much of the time and that is how recovery is much of the time. We need to remember God is with us, guiding us through the field when the work is heavy and guiding us to the "bright bursts of inspiration." We are never alone.
Do you recognize God's guiding hands? When?
Blessings-Penny
