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.

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
