For your consideration…..
Earlier this week we were given a message on charity. Today’s message reminds us that simple sharing is perhaps the simplest form of charity.
We all have a lot of woulds, coulds and shoulds floating around in our head. So many of them stay right there. We are given many many opportunities each and every day to share our HOPE, joy, love and kindness. Too often we pass on the opportunity without much thought. Unless, it becomes a regret.
Today we are being asked to realize the opportunities we have and make them count.
-Make eye contact and smile at the greeter as you walk into a store or salesperson who asks if they can help you.
-Make eye contact and smile at the waiter or waitress serving you.
-Hold the door for someone.
-Take someone’s shopping cart back for them.
-Call that friend or family member that pops into your head.
-Be a good listener.
-Share your garden vegetables with your neighbor.
-Have you learned something new? Share it.
-Compliment freely.
You get the picture. These are not big things. But they are little opportunities that can change someone’s day. They are little opportunities that can charge the energy with good.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…..
-Meditate. Find your peace. Connect with your authentic self.
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Do random acts of kindness as the opportunities arise.
-Go play.
-Relax with a good book.
What made me smile yesterday…..
-Another beautiful sunny day.
-As we returned home, we were glad to see our yard was not too badly burned.
-Bill’s hot dogs.
-Steffie is visiting Alex. I wish I could hear the giggles. I will just close my eyes and feel them.
-Early evening PJ’s
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Chris
