For your consideration…….
Today’s message came in a little different today. It came in the last stage of my dream state and woke me up. I had to meditate on these words for a while to hear what we are meant to get from them.
The message is about “purpose” and “intention”. Perhaps it seems like they are the same thing or like it is a fine line between them. But in today’s message stresses they are separate.
We come with a life purpose and are fully designed and equipped to fulfill it. That is stressed. That is the part God… and his realm of helpers he has in place….. did, do and will do for us. They know the plan and will continue to work with us flooding our path with opportunities for us to seize. And they are ready to help with them if we ask.
Today’s message is about our part. The “mean to live” is our intention. We are asked to be aware of and set the intention that we know we have a life purpose and we intend to fulfill it.
The “live with meaning” is seizing those opportunities set before us and fulfilling them to the best of our ability. It is about being fully committed to the task and giving it our all. It is about living fully and confidently in the present moment.
Each and every one of us has an important role to play. Feel that. Know that. Commit to it. “Live with meaning…..mean to live.”
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take……
-Meditate/pray…..Listen for your opportunities and direction. Ask questions.
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Be joyous for being you.
What made me smile yesterday……
-A half day of school teaching multi-age classes.
-OK I shouldn’t laugh. But every time I think of it I do. In my 5th grade class I had 2 boys start pushing each other around and swinging at each other. I know that is not funny and, of course, I disciplined them. What makes me smile is that I was in shock. It took me a minute to believe this was not part of the game of tag we were playing. Boys, boys….IT’S A GAME.
-Bills paid in record time.
-Bruce, Dude and I were off to Stillwater where we had a great peaceful afternoon and evening reading and listening to music.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
