For your consideration…..
I was reminded today of a lesson we do in second grade math. We take a number and then write done all the different “names” or “ways” to describe that number. For instance 20 may be 18+2, 10×2 or 80÷4. We remind them it is no different from the many names people have to describe them. I often use my daughter, Alex and the different roles she has or names she is called by various people ie: Alex Lee, Alex, Alexandra, Sheba, double A, AA, aviator, Lieutenant, lady, swimmer, friend, Babycakes, Sis etc. I’m Ms. Adams, Chris, Reverend, life coach, business planner, card reader, Mom, Mimi, writer, teacher, friend, wife, Lightworker etc.
Our message today reminds us that we are many many things to many many people. Sometimes we are many roles to the same person. We are multi-faceted. Our experience in past lives as well as this one has carved these facets of experience into our soul. We are meant to share our experience, listening skills, our counsel, our knowledge, our love, our understanding, our wisdom, our support etc.
Our ego often questions our “resume.” It discourages us from being all that we are. We are reminded today that just like the coat of many colors we have earned the different pieces of who we are. They are ours to be proud of and share.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…..
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Remember ALL that you are.
What made me smile yesterday….
-A good book.
-Sleeping in.
-We have a new dishwasher delivery date. I will not hold my breath. Instead I will take deep breaths.
-Alex is inspiring. She makes me want to hop up and get things done.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
