To Those Who Are Given Much…

For your consideration…..

“To those who are given much, much is expected.”

We have had this message, or similar ones like it before. It goes along with the Law of Attraction. What you put out is what comes back to you. It almost makes us think of the chicken or the egg question. Today’s message wants us to think about it in a slightly different way.

We are reminded of our free will. Everything that is put in front of us requires a decision on our part. We can choose to accept or deny and everything in between. We have a choice. We always have a choice.

The more we accomplish, the more we handle, the bigger challenges will be put in front of us. Consider them stretch goals. Again, we can accept them and grow or we can choose to ignore them. We can tackle them head on full steam ahead or we can take baby steps.

We are given this message today because so much of how we live our life comes from attitude. Nothing put in front of us is too big for us. Do we know this? Are we excited or afraid? Are we standing ready or hiding? Are we listening or ignoring?

Deciding to step up, willingly, with excitement, with love and gratitude makes all the difference in not only what we put out…give. It also makes all the difference in what we receive.

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.

-Examine our attitude….our preparedness, readiness.

What made me smile yesterday…..

-The sun.

-We’re out taking care of our family’s dogs while they are on vacation. Will had a whole man cave  set up in the garage for Bruce.

-Kathy came out to visit us.

-Alex tackled her broken dryer, pulled it apart and fixed it. Wow.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
