For your consideration…
Well, this was different. All I was given was a song and the knowing that today’s message is very “upbeat” and happy. The song is “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.” It is sung as a duet. Singer one, “Don’t go breakin’ my heart.” Singer two, “I couldn’t if I tried.” For every concern, there is a reassuring response.
Our message today is about friendship in our relationships. Throughout friendships, we are both the concerned and troubled one and then the calming reassuring one. That is what makes a balanced friendship. We get help when we are down and we give help when our friend is down. I saw the following posted.
Friends
Respect you
Include you
Encourage you
Need you
Deserve you
Stand by you
Today we are asked, if we haven’t already, be grateful for our friends.
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.
-Lean on your friends…let your friends lean on you.
What made me smile yesterday…
-Catching up with both of my girls.
-A chill day with new PJ’s.
-A good book.
-Being surprised by a snow fall.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
