Our Tears

“The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.”

John Vance Cheney

For your consideration……

As I have said many times, I do not always get to know the reason why we get the messages we do on any particular case. But I always know that they are not random and they are not coincidences. And I always trust the they will speak to the heart for which they are intended.

Today speaks to those with heavy hearts and tears. Perhaps it is because so many of us are experiencing sadness because it is so hard to avoid the news. Who doesn’t have tears for the victims and disappointment of Benghazi, the kidnappings in Cleveland or the seemingly senseless tragedy seen in the Arias trial? No matter how hard you try to avoid it, it is there when you turn on your computer, pick up your phone or turn on your radio.

But my sense it that, we have many who have much sadness in their hearts for very personal reasons and so we are being given today’s message. The message is this exactly,

“All of your tears are collected. Not one is lost. They are delivered to God for healing. They are blessed and returned to you as such. They are yours whenever you choose to access them.”

We are further reminded that we are loved and while we may not feel it, we are complete and whole because none of our pieces are ever lost.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

A special note….Today is the 3rd anniversary of HOPEsrising. Many of you know I was lead to this adventure kicking and screaming. I certainly had a lot of excuses on why I was not the person for the job and why I was not capable. And if anyone would have told me this was possible, I would have said they were crazy. Yet here we are. I am so grateful to not only my Guidance, but you and yours. Many, many blessings, Dear Ones.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…..

-Meditate/pray…..ask for your blessings. Ask for help from your Guidance.

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Pause throughout the day with this affirmation, “I am loved, I am whole, I am ready to accept all of my Blessings.”

What made me smile yesterday…..

-A great email from Alex on her ship.

-Working with some of my favorites.

-A date night with my hubby on his birthday.

-We ran into lots of people we knew and caught up with lots of news.

-The Gordons calling and singing birthday wishes to Grandpa Bruce. That got big laughs and joy for the birthday boy, Bruce.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
