For your consideration…..
Yes, perfect kindness does. Certainly it is something to strive for. But let’s be honest, most of us are not always there. Most of us realize we are not always kind.
Our message today reminds us that we are always learning and teaching, teaching and learning. Sometimes we don’t feel like being kind. Progress in our learning is when we are kind anyway. We are kind even when we are angry, disappointed, disgusted etc. We are kind even when it is a struggle.
We are also reminded that this same lesson applies to oneself. Kindness begins within. We must wake up each morning remembering that today is a new day, a new beginning. We have learned and grown and are ready to embrace it by forgiving and being kind to ourselves.
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.
-Be kind.
What made me smile yesterday…..
-A quick trip with my sister-in-law, Ginger, to Battle Creek to plant the family cemetery. We do this every year and I have to say we are pretty efficient.
-Lunch at Win Schuler’s.
-Our Peanut graduated from 8th grade and received one of the Student of the Year Awards.. Wow, she’s a high-schooler.
-Lots of excitement and great pictures.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
