Todays thought from Hazelden is: The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live. -- Flora Whittemore We often hear the phrase, When one door shuts, another opens. It means everything has a beginning and an end. When our travels on one path are completed, another path lies ahead. Its not easy to feel a door close. Relationships, friendships, careers, and lives end. Although we may not understand why a door closes, its important to remember our Higher Power has everything to do with it. By the same token, we may not understand why certain doors open, revealing opportunities we may have longed for. Again, our Higher Power feels we are ready to pursue that new experience. The doors that open and close today help prepare us for our experiences tonight. The doors that open and close tonight will help us grow toward tomorrow. We are not mice in a maze, randomly pursuing paths for a reward of cheese. We are children of our Higher Power, guided towards our chosen goal through the many doors we open and close along the way. Have I learned there is a reason for everything in my life? Can I trust that my path has been prepared for me by my Higher Power? You are reading from the book: Night Light by Amy E.
