For your consideration…..

Let There Be Peace On Earth

Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be.
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment
And live each moment
With peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth,
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be.
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.

Isn’t this a wonderful song to welcome in 2016? Isn’t it a wonderful message? Certainly it is and it always deserves our consideration. However, today’s message is focused on a very small part of this song.
We are reminded that 2015 and all of its moments are gone. We can not change them but they have changed us. Certainly we are different today than we were Jan. 1, 2015. Who we are in this moment is what we have to work with and it is enough. We can maximize the potential of this moment, thus ourselves, thus the world. We can do that. We are up to the challenge and if we forget to do that this moment we can do it in the next.
Does this mean we are running around like chickens with our heads cut off? NO! If we are resting, we prepare ourselves to get the best rest we can. If we are working, we give it our best effort. If we are thinking or interacting with others, we give our full attention.
We live each moment to the fullest by making sure our body, mind and spirit are all in sync. They are in concert and working as a team. Living each moment to its fullest is how dreams happen and miracles are made. We have the right stuff and every reason to HOPE. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If each and every one of us does, this even 10% of the time, the world will be a much better place.
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….my next moment….for my highest good and the highest good of all?”
-Drink lots of water. It helps our body, mind and spirit.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-“Be gentle with yourself.” Do not waste a moment that has full potential on regrets.
What made me smile yesterday…..
-An easy, lazy morning at Stillwater.
-Seeing my tree beautiful nieces, Kerri, Camryn and Taylor.
-Dinner and a movie with Bruce and Bob.
-Talking to Jody. It sure seemed like we had a lot to catch up on.
-Talking to my sister, Lori and daughter, Alex.
-All the fun pictures and New Year greetings.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
