For your consideration…
I have to chuckle at the different ways messages come in and the examples they give to make me understand. Probably, each of you is wondering about how this image could be related to a HOPEs Rising message. That is the beauty of it. It is an example that each of us is given messages in ways that relate to each of us individually. They are given to us in ways we understand.
My Dad had a Shell gas station with a garage attached. They repaired not only customer cars and trucks but also the police department vehicles. It was a busy place. A regular stop at the station was the Snap-on tool truck. I asked him why it came so often. Surely they had all the tools they needed. He told me that every time a new model vehicle came out, different tools were needed to repair them. New designs made some places hard to get at and so new tools were developed to solve the problems. Of course, I think there was also the part of, guys just loved shopping for tools. Inside of the Snap-on tool truck was a real experience. Compare it to women in a jewelry store.
This example was given to me to remind us that each of us is a special design. We are custom-made. We are instruments designed especially for the life purpose we are born to complete. We should feel loved, confident, and capable.
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.
-Remember how unique we are…exactly perfect.

-Outdoor umbrellas put away for the winter.
-Kitchen organizing started.
