My heart overflows with feelings of gratiude for the very first gift God has given...His Son. It overflows with His love for all the recovering friends He placed in my life. May God continue to bless you, as you look to Him as your source of strength in this season of celebration. Merry Christmas!
You meet a hero.
His mortal enemy slumbers within him;
He can never outrun his disability.
He makes his way through a world of alcohol abuse,
In an environment that does not understand him.
Society, puffed up with shameful ignorance,
Looks on him with contempt,
As if he were a second-class citizen
Because he dares to swim against the stream of alcohol.
But you must know:
No better people are made than this.
Friedrich von Bodelschwingh (1831-1910)
The most brilliant beggar in Germany
