Another Little Task

For your consideration…

We may venture to guess that every day we can/do think about something we lack, something that hasn’t gone quite right, etc.

Our message today reminds us that there is a flip side. For every disappointment, there is a blessing. Every single day we are given blessings. When we focus on lacks, it is easy to miss them. It is easy to miss that suddenly our vegetables have taken root. It is easy to miss a found earring that we thought we had lost forever. It is easy to forget that phone call that you rarely get. It is easy to forget those “ah ha” moments when something we have been puzzling over become clear. ETC. ETC. ETC.

We are asked to focus on the surprise and delights that we are blessed with today.

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.

-Count your blessings and remember to say thank you.

What made me smile yesterday…

-A beautiful day.

-A visit with my neighbor.

-Watching Conner’s swim lesson.

-Having Alex and Conner here with me.

-A good book.

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,

Rev. Chris
