For your consideration…..
H.E.L.P…..having the experience of letting people….share in our experience or burden.
Many of us have a tendency to “do it all on our own.” Sometimes it is just because we don’t think about it. Sometimes that is because we are too shy or embarrassed to ask for help. Sometimes it is because we are too proud to ask or we like to think that we can do everything ourselves.
We are told today that when we give or receive help, it is a gift. It is a win….win for both the giver and receiver. It is an honor to share moments in each others lives. We may not consciously be aware of that.
Consider being gracious in both giving and receiving help.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…..
-Meditate/pray….remember that spiritual help is always available and most easily heard in silence.
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Engage with those around you. Be a gift. Receive a gift.
What made me smile yesterday…….
-I don’t like to shop so it is rare for me to “just go shopping” for nothing in particular. Because my friend, Jodie, is in town and the day was beautiful we went to a new mall. People in the area are calling it the “women’s mall” because of the fabulous collection of stores. It was just great.
-Lunch and dinner out. We are really splurging here, taking advantage of having a friend staying with us.
-Meeting up with old high school friends in town for the reunion.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
