For your consideration……

I am not surprised we are getting this message today. Everywhere I go, at some point, the conversation turns to the amount of “tasks” that are yet to be done. Panic is setting in. It is the holiday season in full swing. It happens every year. And that is the key to part of today’s message.

Every year what must get done does. We are reminded of that. We are reminded that we are awesome and amazing. More than likely, in all those past years, we got through the holiday and just said “whew”. We focused on relief.

Today we are told that instead we should have focused on our “awesomeness”.  In essence we took on a second job and succeeded. We multi-tasked like crazy. We planned and were efficient like never before. Yeah, we do it every year. And rarely do we stop and reflex on the talent, determination, efficiency, grace and faith it took to accomplish it all.

We are reminded today that we are amazing. We have a history to prove it. There is no need to panic. Instead chill and move through this season confident and enjoy the peace that brings you.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

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

-Meditate/pray….start your day in peace.

-Drink lots of water.

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

-Be joyous.

What made me smile yesterday……

-Wow, an exciting school day.

-Tasks embarked upon and completed.

-I made a dinner that I have made for years. It was horrible. I think I went on automatic and should have put my mind and heart on the task. Yikes. I am sure my husband is completely baffled.

-Some wrapping done…

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,

Rev. Chris
