For your consideration…
I feel like we just had this message. No matter. If it is meant to be repeated, there is a reason.
When we are born, as infants, we find ways to soothe ourselves. Perhaps it is a binky, a blanket, a stuffed animal, etc. As we grow older, we let those things go.
Our message today tells us that our soul always needs things that soothe it, comfort, and feed it. Perhaps we already know what those are but maybe we don’t or haven’t given much thought to it. Is it music, a hot cup of coffee, a weighted blanket, favorite food, meditation/prayer, a walk through the woods or on a beach. talking with a best friend, a glass of wine, etc.
Whatever feels comforting to us, is perfect. It should be part of our daily lives to eliminate stress and help us grow a healthy soul.
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.
-Soothe our soul.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A beautiful warm, sunny day.
-An early picnic with Vicki.
-Getting together with Anita and Kathy. It is so good that Anita is back home. We did a brief mindfulness body scan perfect to relax for the night.
-A good book.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
