For your consideration…
I will be honest. I did not want to write this message. I am sure over the years of this blog it has come up before but I am always just very very sad on Good Friday. Frankly I find the whole story of it appalling. I always have and can not seem to get past it. So, of course, it is the last thing I want to write about. Yet, as I am sure I have also said before, the message will not go away just because I don’t want to write it. When I made this agreement with Archangel Metatron to write this daily blog, he promised that I would always be given a message. I was to naive to ask, “What if I don’t want to write that message?” So here we are.
“Good” in the times of Jesus meant “Holy” and somewhere along the way it changed. But for Christians living in Faith “Good” is fitting because this is the day Jesus gave his life that we forever more will be forgiven our sins. We tend to focus on that.
However, the message today wants us to focus on death itself. Too often we don’t want it and fear it even though we know that tomorrow is never promised to us. Indeed, the next moment is not promised to us. Every day we live takes us one step closer to death.
Death like birth is a pivotal moment where we transition from one life to the next. Our essence, our core, our soul, our authentic self is in tact but the physical body changes. That is all. It is HOPE and Faith that keeps reminding us of this.
We are reminded today to feel the love and joy of this Good Friday. (As I write this I am hearing, “Snap out of it, Chris.) Yikes, ok then.
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?”
-Stoke our Faith and be joyous.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Drink lots of water.
What made me smile yesterday…
-Shannon running interference for her daughter.
-Catching up with Alex.
-A good book. I almost put it down…glad I didn’t.
-Making lots of headway on my book. Admittedly, I am receiving lots of Guidance.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
