She probably is aware of that, but that gives you something to say if you're in that situation again. It's on 413 and they always do marathon meetings for the holidays. :)Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542031255601902423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428750433589583708.post-17814946001328866952010-12-23T00:12:17.156-05:002010-12-23T00:12:17.156-05:00I love the men and women of the AA group that meet...I love the men and women of the AA group that meets in our church. When we relocate, they are relocation with me. One woman came back into the building just this past Tuesday. She forgot her coat and I was checking on everything. She admitted that she was sad and that Christmas was difficult. I didn't know what to say so I said something like, "I hope you feel better." And "Merry Christmas." I thought I could've done better. I'm lousy off the cuff like that. May God give her a sense of how I longed to see her enjoy this Christmas and the real reason for the season/celebration. So many in AA have broken relationships that can't be mended by the holidays. It's sad to think of especially when they are on the road to recovery.Beacon2Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085787053692262901noreply@blogger.com
