For your consideration….
When I travel, I make it a habit to pick up a stone. The stone is not necessarily special. It is just something that has caught my eye. I keep it in my pocket to remind myself why I am on vacation, to let go of worries and troubles, have fun, seek clarity, give and receive love etc.
Our message today asks us to do exactly this. Grab a stone and keep it with you. When you feel stressed, reach for it and rub it. Remind yourself why it is there. Perhaps we have a more specific reason or wish. Write an affirmation and repeat it whenever we reach for the stone.
A stone like us is a creation of God. We are asked to let it be a tool to remind, nurture and comfort us.
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.
-Find a stone.
What made me smile yesterday…
-Catching up with Jackie and Alex.
-Hearing from Jul.
-A reading with Sandra.
-Laundry and shopping done.
-Bruce quit smoking. Fingers crossed.
-A good book.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
