13 reasons why Warsaw should be your next city break

For your consideration…

I had to laugh when today’s message came in because right behind it I could hear my mother say, “Get outside and let the stink blow off of you.”

That is the very essence of today’s message. Get outside and play. Too often that is not part of our plan, our agenda. It is not something that we make part of our life no matter what. But we should. We need to play. We need to be outdoors.

I was amazed when I lived in Europe, Poland in particular. There were beautiful parks everywhere and they are full of people…especially on the weekends.

It was the same in Utila where the public beach was packed every Sunday with families swimming and having picnics. I was told that very few people ever worked on Sunday. Families always relaxed and played together and with other families.

It is the same throughout many parts of the world. Consistantly, no matter what, time to play and relax with self, family, and friends is part of every week.

We are asked today to set everything aside and get outdoors and play. Have fun. Breathe fresh air. Laugh. Relax. Breathe in joy, HOPE, and love. Make play a mandatory part of every week.

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.

-Get outdoors and PLAY.

 

What made me smile yesterday…

-A beautiful day.

-Breakfast with Cathy and nieces.

-A trip to the beach for dinner.

-A chill night with all Cathy’s grandchildren.

 

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,

Rev. Chris
