For your consideration…
Unless you are making money off of war and destruction, misery, etc., most people would say they want a peaceful loving world. I say that. I pray for that. And most people feel like it is out of their control. They do not have the ways and means to make it happen.
Today’s message says not so. We are asked to take personal responsibility and look to ourselves and the choices we make. We can not have a peaceful and loving world if we are not peaceful and loving ourselves…all of the time. Attacking in words or actions is not loving…ever. Does that mean we have to agree with everyone or become door mats? No! But it does mean that we need to monitor our responses. If we need to respond, we need to do so from a loving heart with the intention of the highest good of all. This we can do.
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.”
-Remember…You are the keeper of light. Wherever you go, there can be no darkness. Wherever you direct loving intentions, you spread HOPE and peace.
-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.
What made me smile yesterday…
-My little preschoolers.
-You just never know what they are going to say. How about this? “My daddy is naked in the morning.”
-A great cooking class.
-Meeting new people. You just have to love how strangers are so close. The degrees of separation are so few.
-Seeing Alex and James while picking up Louie.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
