For your consideration…….
Today we are first asked a question and then given a task.
The question is “How is the world shaking out for you….us…..everyone?”
The task is to first make like we are a think tank and then “cross germinate and/or pollinate.” How does that saying go? “If you always do things the same way, you always get the same results.” The same goes for our opinion and views. If we are unwillingly to see things from a different perspective, we are shutting ourselves off from untold possibilities.
For every disagreement or difference of opinion, we are asked to assume the opposite site. We are asked to put out whole heart and mind into “Walking in the other person’s shoes.” Assume they are completely right.
If we can come from that perspective….truly feel that perspective…..how would we do things differently. Is there any common ground? Where could we put our stake in the ground from which to build on?
In my opinion this is not an easy task. Politics and religion immediately come to my mind. But I am willing to try and HOPE you will too.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…..
-Meditate/pray. Get to your peaceful self.
-Drink lots of water.
-Take in at least 10 deep breaths outdoors.
-Play
-Imagine a perfect world. What does that look like to you? Journal it.
What made me smile yesterday……
-What’s not good when you are with family you do not see enough of?
-The “Hummingbird and Bee” bookstore.
-Great donuts.
-Visits with Kellie, Rob, Ty, Mia and Ava.
-Its just all good.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
