For your consideration…….

Do you know that those unpleasant moments, people, events, things etc. are really opportunities?

Not everything in life is pleasant but we have free will and we can decide how we want to deal with it. Do we want to jump in and mimic the negative or bad behavior or do we want to jump in work through the problems with grace? Do we want to propagate more negative energy or do we want to correct it?

When we work from a state of grace, we have the opportunity to change energy. We have the opportunity to set an example and raise the bar. Change happens through moments. We are asked today to bring our “A” game…..our grace to each and every moment.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

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

-Meditate/pray…..feel your grace.

-Drink lots of water.

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

-Being gracious is always correct. Be gracious.

What made me smile yesterday…….

-Sunshine.

-Some fun students.

-Errands done including toes and nails. The salon was packed with students getting ready to graduate from Eastern Michigan University and University of Michigan. The excitement was so fun to be around.

-Bill’s hot dogs.

-Watching my husband, Bruce, go around the house reading anything he could in various sizes of print. I am not sure what changed his mind, maybe our son-in-law, Will. But whatever the reason, he changed his mind and decided to try some “readers” so he could read. This is after at least 3 years where he has not been able to read. He has been getting out a magnifying glass to pay his bills or having me read them to him. He has been seeing all of the commercials for Foster Grant readers. A couple of days ago I went on line and showed him what was available. He showed me what he liked and I found them yesterday. Last night was just fun watching him pick up various things and discover he could read them.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,

Rev. Chris
