For your consideration…
No one says it is easy. The journey of our life is learning through trial and error, trial and tribulation, etc., on how to keep our power centered and in OUR control. It is through practice that we learn to create and hold loving space, no matter what. It is through practice that we learn to love no matter what.
This is not easy. People, situations, the news, etc. can shower us with negativity. It can be hard not to take up “the cause” and jump on the bandwagon of negativity. Perhaps we feel pressured or embarrassed if we don’t.
But our message today tells us that the only solution, the only way to stay on our life purpose track, is to keep firm in our own power. Let it lead our body, mind, and spirit in kindness, love, joy, and HOPE. If we feel ourselves slipping, remember to breathe. Our breath goes with us wherever we go. it is our reset button. Pause and take in three deep breaths. Repeat if necessary.
We never have to, nor should we ever, relinquish our power. We should never give up on love. Love is our Faith. Faith is our love.
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.
-Bask and trust in our capacity to love.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A good morning walk.
-I made it to our Mindfulness class.
-Crafting.
-A good book.
-AND…after searching through every coat and purse I own multiply times searching for one of my key fobs, I found it. It was in an armband I sometimes where when I am walking. Obviously, I don’t use it as much in the winter because I have coat pockets. So it must have been there since last fall.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
