For your consideration….
I was not too sure about this message this morning. My ego mental model kept jumping in. It immediately jumped to several situations where the consummate complainers were constantly rewarded. We all know some whiners. However, when I set aside my ego and listen to the message, I realize its validity.
Our message today is this. Suffering or stewing in silence gets you no where. If you want or need change, you must voice it. Well thought out issues that are voiced is not complaining. It is being proactive. It is supporting positive change.
The difference between whiners and proactive change seekers is this. Whiners whine just to whine. They rarely have an idea. They whine on the HOPE that people will just want to shut them up. Change seekers are different. They identify the problem and are ready to offer up solutions. They are willing to be part of the solution.
Don’t suffer in silence and let your anger build. Voice your concern and possible solutions.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take….
-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.
-Be a positive squeaky wheel.
What made me smile yesterday….
-Smart second graders.
-A good book.
-A positive phone call from Alex and my brother, Gordie.
-I love my Christmas yard lights.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
