For your consideration…

We  have lots of messages about “moments.” “We are exactly where we are supposed to be.” “Maximize each moment.” etc. etc. etc.

Today’s message is about those moments where we are just plain irritated. Someone or something grates on our nerves. Sometimes they are new irritants but often they are repeat offenders. We expect to be irritated with them.

Our message today’s gives a “wink and a chuckle” and tells us that those little moments in our life are of little consequence “in the grand scheme of things.” They are not going to impact us unless we let them. We can absorb them and let them continue to rub us the wrong way like pebble in our shoe. Or we can repel them, let them bounce right off of us.

It is a choice. We always have a choice. That is the good news.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…

-Affirm…“I am loved.”

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Don’t let the little things fester into big things.

What made me smile yesterday…

-A beautiful day in Traverse City.

-Chris and Amelia’s wedding was beautiful and full of love and joy.

-Seeing lots of friends.

-I choose to drive home last night. It was much easier than I expected. It felt good to be home in my own bed.

-A new book.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,

Rev. Chris
