For two days now, the guys at Miracles In Progress Recovery House
have received a great number of xmas cards from you fine folks
here at MIP 12 Step Forums! If you could see their faces light up, the
smiles cross their lips, as they eagerly rip open and read each card aloud to
the rest of the guys...
Without a doubt, showing them
their new family of recovery reaches far across the land really is having a
impact on them. Everyone who has participated in sending them xmas cards
and holiday greetings has truely reached their hearts and lifted their
spirits.
I am blessed simply because I get to be the "fly on the wall" as they
get, open and read these beautiful cards. Many of you have sent a strong
message in caring words, sharing your own experience, strength and hope that I
venture to say, several will carry with them well into their recovery as they
venture forward from here.
God bless each and everyone one of you and those you
love...
He sure blessed me.. with you.
Yours In Recovery,
John F.

John,
That warms my heart! I wish I could be there too to see their faces. It's a nice feeling to reach out to strangers without expecting anything in return.
You're loving idea has not only helped these men, but some of us too who were feeling a bit blue. Sometimes I wonder wether or not I'm contributing anything to this great big world or having a positive impact on people. Thanks for reminding me that I am. I needed that.
Live strong,
Karilynn

John,
I think it may have felt as good for me to send that card as it did for them to get it. Thanks for the opportunity.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
