Where's the Peace?

Most people think that "once I complete this then I will have peace"!!  Okay after this next hurdle I will have peace...and so on!!  That sequence will be there throughout our entire life.

What we need to understand is that peace comes from within not from outside sources.  It's not a commodity or an award.  Peace is the understanding that we need to accept life as it is.  That doesn't mean we can't change our circumstances for the better,  it just means to accept the things we cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices teach us that the only fore sure thing in life is that we will have situations that can steal away our peace, if we let it!!

Melee

The word melee has 2 opposing meanings.
1/ is the carnage created by of a crowd of people,
2/ a cluster of diamonds crowded together.

Either way, its a crowd!

The first one is caused by individuals following the example set by a leader who is a bit off base with reality, and certainly peace is not in their thinking. The actions created by this thinking are detrimental to other people, willfully or accidentally.  Calm is out the window and selfishness is at the forefront.  When one gets lost, no one really cares because the excitement is more important.

Number 2 is the result of an artist organizing a group of shining precisely cut diamonds into a rhythmic balance and clustered tightly together in extremely unique patterns.  When one of the diamonds gets lost, the owner goes looking for it.

#1 sounds like an unruly world & #2 sounds like God and His family

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help us to realize what we are doing here on Earth!!

The Aftermath

After the excitement of a party or the carnage of a riot and walking through the area, it tells a bit of a story.  The mess is usually the same, but how it's strewn about gives a few indicators.  You can tell what kind of people were there, if it was social by there being a slight order to the mess, or aggressive by broken debris, spills and turned over furniture. That's the visual!!

But relationships are a bit different as none of that mess is apparent. You can't see spilled emotions, crushed feelings, broken hearts, and careless maneuvers.  You mostly don't see the tears and hear the disparaging verbal blasts or exacting emotional facial expressions. That's mostly locked away [......FOREVER......]

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices give us the means to understand what we put people through and what other people do to us, by helping us organize our emotions and dealing with them quickly & openly.

Confrontation

 Not sure why we look at confrontation as a bad word?  The dictionary term says; "a meeting face to face, and a bringing together of ideas for comparison".  Doesn't sound so bad to me!!  The problem is how uncomfortable it is for us to tell others the truth or receive it ourselves.  A lot of the time the conversation gets out of hand and we are forced to deal with a rather loud situation.  So it may not be a problem for us to share but we may be worried how others will take it, or . . . how we'll take it.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices teach us tools that can help us relate and receive unpleasant information in respectable ways.

Issues With Purpose

Personal issues in our lives are simply designed to pick away at our fortitude. If we start with a weak constitution then it is not a far trip to the bottom. Mastering the temptations thrown in our path throughout our life, is the way to avoid these trip-ups that cause us sooo much grief.  Relate it to throwing gasoline near a fire, eventually the fumes from the fuel will drift toward the flames and ignite.

It's much the same with us!  If we don't stay away from temptations then the fumes from our behavior  will eventually reach the flames and we will be engulfed in a heated affair, sometimes without us even knowing!!

Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices are self-help groups that help us to learn about the trappings of the under laying of a darker world that is not necessarily visible to us...making us wiser!!

Did you hear about so-n'-so?

Ever notice how our own sins don't seem as bad as other peoples? Hearing stories about people makes it easy for us to jump in to the carnage of trashing other people.  I guess it takes the focus off of our own failings, so its kind of a security blanket to protect ourselves.  We don't really stop to think about the effect we have on others in the midst of this, we just know that they are not talking about us at this point in time.  Not a very healing moment is it?

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices help us to focus the attention on ourselves and find true healing for our own hurts, failings, & transgressions.  Now that's a true healing moment!

Cold Hard Facts

We spend our entire life trying to figure life out.  What makes people tick and what sends them and us into orbit.  We all like to think of ourself as a good person and usually see ourselves doing right.  We can forgive our own quirks and failings, but its a different story when it comes to forgiving others.  With our own quirks we find ways of expaining our misgivings to make our actions seem more palitable and reason our way through and soften the edges of our trangressions, but with others we only use cold hard facts about what they did and said.  All the nice explainations are gone and the plausible reasons no longer exist.  Why the unfair imbalance?

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery and Life's Healing Choices try to put us all on the same page and give us a correct view of looking at ourselves and others equally.
