Responsibility

For your consideration…

This is a good message, good reminder, right? It is but it is not the main message. Today’s message is speaking to those who take on too much responsibility.

Today’s message is about taking too much responsibility. My Mom had a favorite saying, “God helps those who help themselves.” Every person is born with a purpose that they are here to work through. Sometimes it is tempting to step in and take over to help someone. A helping up is different than a hand out.

We are reminded that every person has a right as well as responsibility to work their own life and we must respect that.

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 the light. Wherever you go, there can be no darkness.

-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.

-Work our own personal responsibility and respect others to do the same.

What made me smile yesterday…

-A beautiful day.

-Meeting up with Alex for lunch and giving her Louie for a couple of days.

-Beth and I ate at Leila’s. It is hard to believe this late in October that it was perfect for eating outdoors. The food was great.

-We saw the incredible play, MJ, at the Fisher Theater.

-A good book.

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
