Grace

For your consideration….

I don’t think in all of the years of HOPEs Rising that we have had a message on Grace. I could be wrong. Admittedly, I do not remember the messages we are given. I write them and then release them.

Grace is difficult to explain which is why I choose the above quote by Anne Lamott. Grace is unconditional love at its finest. It is Grace that loves the unlovable. It is Grace that forgives the unforgivable. Grace creates HOPE and brings light to the darkness. Grace is the Heavenly example of being God’s child.

Grace changes us.

Today we are reminded that we can sow what we reap. We can exhibit and share the Grace as is has been shown and given to us.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…

-Affirm…“I am loved.”

-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.

-Accept Grace. Show and share Grace.

What made me smile yesterday….

-Wow, I forgot how much easier it is to teach middle school.

-So many tasks done going into the weekend.

-Catching up with Jackie, my Sis and Alex.

-An early bedtime.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,

Rev. Chris
