For your consideration…
My first thought was “What an odd message for a Tuesday.” Just as quickly I heard, “THAT IS THE POINT.”
Many of us spend a lot of our life wishing time away or wishing it would stand still even though we know this is a futile wish. We wish for the week to go by fast so we can get to the fun days of the weekend. On Sundays we dread Mondays. Monday night we are happy it is over. On Tuesday we think we are almost to the middle of the week. On Wednesday night we are happy that we are over “hump” day and on our way to the end of the week. Thursday we are thrilled that we only have one more day until the weekend. And we can hardly wait until Friday PM when our weekend…our fun days…actually start.
Yikes, that is a lot of time wished away. Our message today tells us that we should be looking forward to having fun, relaxing, etc., EVERY day. In fact, we are told to schedule ourselves FIRST. Every single day we should have a plan to return and restore positive energy to our souls. We should make sure that we are looking forward to something that will make us happy EVERY day.
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.
-Do something fun.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A nice warm day.
-Catching up with Cathy and Alex.
-More closet rearranging.
-A trip to the nail salon.
-A new book.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
