November 30 v 2 v 3 POWER IN THE PROVERB 

Surely I am more stupid than any man,

And do not have the understanding of a man.

 I neither learned wisdom

Nor have knowledge of the Holy One.

STEP 1 :1.I admit that I am powerless over the effects of my separation or lack of fellowship with God, and that my life has become unmanageable.

  It took me a long time ,but I realize the Proverb is true.When we live life the way we think we are supposed too live it we wind up with one big mess. God gave a instruction manual to live and without it life will be like climbing a mountain without ropes.Pick up the manual pray surrender and live life according to HIS instructions.

TREE OF HOPE

Dear editor,


The holidays can be especially difficult for individuals and families impacted by addiction to drugs or alcohol. The attached releases from Council of Southeast Pennsylvania and PRO-ACT address:
The annual Tree of Hope dedication ceremony on Dec. 18, which is held to celebrate recovery from addiction, increase awareness about the disease and hope for recovery, and to raise funds for prevention, education and recovery support services.
The monthly Expanding Your Recovery Toolkit on Dec. 17, which will focus on How to Stay Sober Over the Holidays.
If you think your readers might benefit from more in-depth information on staying sober over the holidays, the impact of addiction on families at this time of year, sticking to New Year's resolutions to limit or give up alcohol or tobacco use, or similar topics, I would be happy to provide backgrounders and put you in touch with specialists at The Council/PRO-ACT who can provide insight and useful information.


Have a happy Thanksgiving — and thanks in advance for your consideration.


Best,


Cathie
