For your consideration….

Today’s message talks to us about Grace both as a noun and a verb….both having grace and being gracious.

When all is going well, it is easy to be gracious but the true test comes when we are under fire and in tough times. What characteristics do we exhibit then? Are we resentful, blaming, angry etc. or does our grace shine through?

If we are gracious we wear our dignity and honor as a shield. We do not let ourselves be belittled because we control what enters our soul and what defines us. Therefore we can afford to be kind and forgiving. We try to resolve conflict for the highest good of all. Our grace exhibits and introduces calmness and peace in every situation.

We are asked today to remember our state of Grace. It serves not only serves us well but the highest good of all as well.

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.

-Honor your Grace by being gracious.

What made me smile yesterday….

-Having Alex home.

-Watching the Fixer Uppers old episodes together.

-Dinner together in our sweats chilling out.

-Starting a good book before going to sleep.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,

Rev. Chris
