For your consideration…
Even though I love this Bruce Springsteen song”Further Up The Road”, I had to look up and study the lyrics to figure out today’s message.
The song for the most part focuses on tough times and darkness we sometimes encounter in our lives. Yet it refuses to give up HOPE.
“Now I been out in the desert, just doin’ my time
Searchin’ through the dust, lookin’ for a sign
If there’s a light up ahead, well brother I don’t know
But I got this fever burnin’ in my soul
So let’s take the good times as they go
And I’ll meet you further on up the road
Searchin’ through the dust, lookin’ for a sign
If there’s a light up ahead, well brother I don’t know
But I got this fever burnin’ in my soul
So let’s take the good times as they go
And I’ll meet you further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road
One sunny mornin’ we’ll rise I know
And I’ll meet you further on up the road
One sunny mornin’ we’ll rise I know
And I’ll meet you further on up the road”
And I’ll meet you further on up the road
One sunny mornin’ we’ll rise I know
And I’ll meet you further on up the road”
We are reminded today that light always follows darkness in all things; relationships, circumstances etc. Indeed the ultimate light and joy follows the darkness of death.
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.
-Let HOPE light your soul as a constant reminder that light always follows darkness.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A tourist trip to Bishop’s Castle.
-A beautiful day…
-Jody, Dianne and I were able to connect with Vickie.
-Good news in I figured out what an annoying rattle was in my car. Bad news was the skid plate was falling off. Good news…we found a great dealer who took us right in and took care of us.
-We got to see more of the area than we had planned,
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
