More

For your consideration…

I love today’s message. It seems new. That doesn’t mean we haven’t had it before but I don’t remember it. I learned a long time ago that messages come in as we need them AND as often as we need them.

Our message today is about wanting MORE. This is something I am sure every single one of us deals with. The wanting, the dreaming, the wishing for…MORE. Perhaps it is for MORE money, MORE time, MORE or better work, MORE patience, MORE love, etc. Yes, we are all familiar with wanting MORE.

The question we are being asked today is, “Where is the MORE coming from?” “What is the MORE based on?” These may seem like silly questions but they are not. The answer to them defines whether the MORE is an empty request or a full one. It defines whether or not we truly know what MORE is. It tells us whether we understand it and truly want it.

So how do we anchor our MORE and make it sincere and full? We anchor it in gratitude. When we are grateful, we see the value and understand the gift. If we anchor our MORE in gratitude, we are asking for MORE of what we truly value. Gratitude is the key to MORE.

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.

-Anchor our dreams of MORE in gratitude.

What made me smile yesterday…

-A beautiful day.

-Catching up with Alex and Jackie.

-A good book.

-Getting caught up on little tasks left undone.

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
