HOPE & HEALING
Recovery, Renewal, Restoration
<p>OVERVIEW<br>Hope and Healing is a faith-based<br>recovery group, working through life's<br>hurts, habits and hang-up's. We've all<br>been hurt by other people, we've hurt<br>ourselves and we've hurt others. As a<br>result every single one of us ends up<br>with a hurt, habit or hang-up. Using<br>Beatitudes of Jesus as a foundation,<br>there are eight choices that promise<br>true happiness and transformation.<br>Through making each of these<br>choices, we find God's pathway to<br>wholeness and health and a life filled<br>with Hope and Healing.</p>

Offer forgiveness to<br>those who have hurt me and make amends for<br>harm I have done to others, except when to do so<br>would harm them or others.<br>"Happy are the merciful.Happy are the<br>peacemakers.* Matthew 5:7,9<br>7) Reserve a daily time with God for self<br>examination.
