For your consideration…

….’til you try.

We have lots of ideas, wishes, and dreams. Lots of opportunities are put in our path. Our message today tells us to try these things.

Our ego likes to jump in with all the reasons why we can’t’, shouldn’t, pitfalls, predictions of what might happen. Consequently, we don’t try new things or jump on opportunities. We pass up on learning new things, opening new doors, meeting new people, going to new places, or expanding ideas. We cut ourselves off from expanding our exploration of the world, indeed the Universe.

In short, if we don’t try, we stunt our growth and potential. This is exactly what we don’t want so go for it.

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?”

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Drink lots of water.

-Try….

 

What made me smile yesterday…

-Another beautiful day.

-A good doctor’s appointment for Bruce.

-A beautiful text message from Judy that completely made my day.

-Bruce took two falls…Yikes. He has a sore foot and an arm cut but, luckily, no broken bones. So what made us smile? As he was getting for bed, he asked me to change his bandage. As I played nurse, I was spraying his arm wound with peroxide. The bottle kept making these “tooting” sounds. Neither one of us said anything but at the same time we just burst out laughing. Laughter truly is the best medicine.

-Catching up with Alex.

 

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,

Rev. Chris
