Most people who are living in one day at a time recovery are people who know about receiving grace. We received it from our parents, children, and other members of our families. We received it from our employers and our co-workers, our friends and our communities. In addition to this some of us have received grace from the courts, peace officers, and the government (or so the people who vote for them). And some of us have received it from other people we have hurt. Those of us who choose to believe that there is a God out there, who we know is beyond our comprehension, know one thing for certain. Most of us wouldn’t be alive today, and in recovery, if it wasn’t for the grace of this God. We receive grace, perhaps confused, but grateful. We might even ask why? Grace is a gift we did not merit. It is born of love, hope, and charity. And we also will give grace. One day at a time.
