For your consideration…
I think most people of the world are unhappy with its status. We have been given everything yet what have we done with it. Why is everyone so fed up? We can say the wars, politics, religions, feuds, etc. And all would be true. What is the common denominator besides lack of love? It is our division, our separtness…from one another.
Opinions, judgment, wills of power will separate us if we are not diligent. We can have all of these things but let our respect and love for one another top them.
Our message today tells us that, yes, we are feeling significant change. We can not stop it. It is necessary and our unhappiness is a way for us to get ready to accept this change.
We may feel like there is not much we can do. But there is. We can look at our relationships. Evaluate them. We can repair what needs to be repaired. We can strenghen them. Or if they are a detriment, we can bless them and let them go. We can develop new ones. We can notice how we think about and view others. We can suspend judgement. We can open our minds and hearts. We can remember that we need one another and every single person has been put here by God for a purpose.
Remember respect and love are not contingent on agreement.
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.”

-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
