in part…“Stay” by Rianna
Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know.
Not really sure how to feel about it.
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can’t live without you.
It takes me all the way.
I want you to stay.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, the reason I hold on
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ’cause I need this hole gone
Funny you’re the broken one but I’m the only one who needed saving
‘Cause when you never see the light it’s hard to know which one of us is caving.
For your consideration……
Today’s message came in with the Rhianna song, Stay. And it came with an example.
When people fall in romantic love, we often hear them say things like; “He gets me.” or “He loves me warts and all.” or “I can just be myself with him.” etc.
The reality is just the opposite. Real love happens when we open up and are our entire self. When we show all of who we are, real love is given room to grow.
It is the same with all of our relationships. Our power is in being whole. That means we must let down our guards and the veils that we hide behind and stand tall and firm in who we really are. Then and only then are will we able to attract into our lives the people we need to grow with and fully accomplish our life purpose.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…..
-Meditate/pray…..let your guards down.
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths. Consider a walk.
-Be grateful for the honest relationships you have in your life.
What made me smile yesterday……
-A full moon. Our daughter is doing her carrier quals and having light in the night sky is a joy and blessing.
-A fun school day.
-Chatting and laughing with Jackie.
-Rain but without the thunder and lightning. Our poor dog has had a rough week with the bad weather. He just shiver and shakes during storms.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
