One moment please

One of my favorite lessons in recovery? A slight change to an old adage:

"Don't just DO something, SIT there!"

Sometimes inaction is much more appropriate and helpful than reacting to something without the benefit of prayer and quiet time just to consider the bigger picture.  Many times things we believe to be problems for us to solve work themselves out given enough time and space.

The answer to a question or request isn't always yes or no, often it is simply "wait".
