For your consideration…
…how did I get here? For sure it is a story with many twists and turns. We could never sort out the “what ifs” and the impact on each and every step we took. “What ifs” are a fruitless waste of our time and energy.
Each and every day…moment…we think about what we are going to do next. Sometimes it is a conscious decision, just as often it is not. Or maybe you are like me and you make a conscious decision but by the time you get to where you decided to go you have forgotten why you were going there. YIKES.
Our message today offers us an option to fretting about “what ifs” and about plans gone astray. Instead, engage our Faith. We have a lifetime of experience that we are alright. For all of the decisions, foiled plans, experiences, etc., here we are. So lets engage our Faith and when plans seemingly go astray ask, “Why?” “Clearly there has been a course correction, why.” “What is the blessing that is being put before me?”
We are being asked today to trust our Faith and our Guidance. We are exactly where we are supposed to be at this very moment.
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.”
-Affirm…”I am exactly where I am supposed to be.
-Affirm…”I am blessed.”
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?” Ask, “Why?”
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A beautiful day at Jody’s cabin in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
-Hanging out all day on the porch with my besties in our sweats PJ’s.
-Catching up with Alex.
-My sister and her family and Randy and Michelle all are safe and sound after hurricane Ian.
-A good book.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
