For your consideration……
Our message today tells us that “you” are God’s personal representative to the Universe. You are uniquely designed and created for your special purpose.
You are trained and qualified to represent God in everyday life in every situation.
When I got this message I remembered the roadside billboards that always make me chuckle. They were a few words signed by God. Perhaps you have seen them. I remember one of them was simply the words….”Don’t make me come down there.” Or maybe you saw the one that said, “That “Love thy neighbor” thing, I meant it.”
For those who choose to be a religious leader, their path is clear. For the rest of us, not so much. We tend to see ourselves as students or worse yet people who are lacking in some way. We don’t feel or see ourselves qualified to be a personal representatives of God.
But we are. We always have been. We are all good enough to do his work in all ways big and little. Perhaps you remember this question, “What would God do?” When in doubt, that is always a good place to start.
We are being asked to go out and be the people we were designed to be. Represent the good through kindness, understanding, love, joy and blessings.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take……
-Meditate. Go to your “safe” place at least once a day. You will find your instructions there.
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Go play. Be joyous. Share it.
What made me smile yesterday……
-An unusually warm day with great sun.
-Watching my amazing Peanut play excellent basketball and then go swim hard in their swim championships. She overcame odds, shaved seconds off her best times and took points for her team. “God, I am not bragging, I am sharing.”
-A couple of moms let grandma me tag along and we took our “stars” to their favorite restaurant to celebrate.
-An early, much needed, bed time.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
