For your consideration…
Today I opened my eyes and immediately noticed the bright sun shining and heard, “You are blessed.” Then I looked down and laying at the foot of the bed leaning against my legs Louie was laying away patiently waiting for me to open my eyes and greet him. Again, I felt it. I knew it. I know it. This year has been a bit rough with caring for and then losing Bruce. It is easy to forget that I am indeed blessed.
And so are we all. There may be challenges but our loads are lightened when we notice and see the bounty of blessings that surround us. And when we receive them with gratitude.
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.
-Notice our blessings.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A beautiful day.
-A visit Don at the hospital.
-Lunch with Mary.
-A trip to Sam’s Club with Mary.
-Got my wrapping station set up in the basement.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
