For your consideration…
Our message today is from the Rolling Stones song, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” Specifically part of the chorus, “You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well, you might find You get what you need”
We are guided to make an important change to that sentence. We are asked to replace, I “might with “will”. We can’t always get what we want but we will always get what we need.”
We are not lacking. We have what we need. You might be thinking sometimes we do have a need. And the answer is that we have a voice. We can and should reach out and ask for help.
What we want and what we need are two completely different things. Sometimes they coincide and sometimes they don’t because sometimes there is a bigger plan in play.
We are asked to let go of the anxiety and flow with our life. We can and should ask for things that we want but always include that they be for our highest good and the highest good of all. Getting what we need for our highest good and highest purpose is the ultimate goal.
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.
-Chill, count our blessings. Be confident in your God. He knows what he is doing.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A beautiful day.
-Catching up with Cathy and both my girls.
-Shannon, AJ, and Will took Jody and me on a boat ride to Zukey Lake Tavern for dinner…fun.
-A good book.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
