ROSE GARDENS
Give me roses to remember in the shadow of December.
~ Margaret L. Woods ~
When we began recovery, nobody promised us a rose garden. Yet each day in recovery we find that we do have a rose garden full of cherished beauty.
No flower garden will ever produce lovely blooms for us unless we work constantly at weeding, hoeing, mulching, fertilizing, pruning dead wood, watering and spraying for plant enemies. How much spiritual growth our garden brings us depends on the amount of spade work we do.
The gifts of the Program are realized when we put our best efforts to work. This way of life is based on our positive action.
I must make my life like rich soil so that what is planted within me will be nourished and grow.
