For your consideration…
I was surprised as I looked for a picture to match today’s message at how many life/jigsaw quotes. Many were really good food for thought but none were exactly like our message and so the picture isn’t exactly right.
What is right is that it reflects two different people with pieces to the puzzle. Our lives are like that. Many people hold pieces to our puzzle and we to theirs. What is missing from the above picture, the piles of pieces that we make as we sort to put together a jigsaw puzzle. We have a lot of pieces that we have to figure out exactly where they fit. We each have different methods on how we do this.
Sometimes we sort and sort only to find at the end that we are missing pieces. That is the main focus of today’s message. We are asked to consider not going through the “same old pieces”…. doing the same old things…thinking the same way,,,etc. Look beyond. Open ourselves up. Notice who brings in the missing piece. It is exactly what we need. It wasn’t there all along. It wasn’t time for it. It showed up when we needed it.
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.
-Quit going over the old and make room for the new.
What made me smile yesterday…
-An afternoon out.
-Eye appointment done.
-Dinner with Vicki and Julie.
-A good book.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
