For your consideration…
Our message today tells us that we are blessed when we can see and know the contrasts. We may not always feel this way but imagine if we did not know dark, how would we know light. If we did not know sadness, how would we recognize joy? If we did not know evil, how would we recognize honor and goodness? If we did not know exhaustion, how would we recognize being rested? If we did not know indifference or hate, how would we recognize caring and love? If we did not know despair, how would we recognize HOPE? ETC.
You get it. It is the contrasts that we are given that help us be clear. If not for them, we would live in a perpetual state of neutrality. We are blessed with seeing and feeling contrasts.
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.
-Notice and celebrate the differences…the contrasts.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A great day with family….Ginger, Nick, Kathy, Shannon, Will, AJ, and Mackenzie.
-Will is a great grill master. He handled the lobster tails for me.
-A good book.
-Catching up with Alex.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
