For your consideration……

My sense again today is that we are being gently pushed. We are being asked to know ourselves and discover our purpose. Today focuses on “truth”.

It is important to know truth……our truth….our own truth. We are living in a world where enormous amounts  of information is available every moment of the day and night. We live in a world where we are bombarded with opinions and facts offered as truth. But is it true? How do we know? Most of us do not have the time and energy to ferret out the truth of all of this information.

Today we are being asked to invest time and energy in ourselves. We are asked to go within and learn truth….our truth….from the inside and apply it outside. We are asked to discover truth from within. When we do this we are, in essence, building our own “truth detector” machine. When we learn what the truth looks and feels like from the inside, we will more readily recognize it outside and more readily be able to deflect what is not true and good.

No one owns our truth. The truth that is within our authentic self is ours alone. We are asked to get to know it and apply it to everything we do in life.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

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

-Meditate/pray…..go within each and every day.

-Drink lots of water.

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

-Journal what you know for sure.

What made me smile yesterday…..

-Oh, the little people can always be counted on for a chuckle.

-A fun visit from our friends Dianne and Gary.

-As I was going to bed Bruce says, “Chris, I’ve been thinking.” (Yikes!) “All of our old friends we laughed about tonight….I bet they are laughing about us.” I am sure they are we sure did some stupid things in our younger day.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,

Rev. Chris
