For your consideration…
Our exact message was this, “Laughter and play are to the soul what electric shock is to a heart that has stopped.”
Laughter and play are the medicine our soul needs when it is feeling depressed and sad. Laughter and play are boosts we need to get us out of a funk.
So if we are down, we are asked to stop and do some soul therapy, some soul medicine. Sometimes it is not all that easy to conger up a laugh or to play. That is why we are also reminded to keep that picture, story, image, joke, etc….that always make us smile or laugh…in our “pockets” so that we can pull it out when we are in need. Actually, we don’t even have to be in need. We can pull them out and laugh and smile just for the fun ofi t.
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.
-Keep our souls healthy with laughter and joy.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A day with some sun.
-Catching up with Alex.
-A good book.
-I found a recipe that I have been looking for for years. It was one my mother-in-law made. I made it and it is just like we remembered.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
