For your consideration…

I love today’s message. I think because I am an off the beaten path type of girl. I love travel of all kinds. I do not care the mode or particularly the destination. I can go alone or with people. I don’t particularly like planned tours. I like tours but not ones that have been planned for a certain day at a set time. No, I like the ones that you come across or look for on a day I woke and decided I would like to do one. Make sense? The same thing goes for my daily life. I like a loose plan. I like room for surprises…time to fit in things that “just come up.”

So it is not surprising that I relate to today’s message. It is about the surprises and delights that we come across when we get off the beaten path. It is a big Universe full of wonder. We barely touch the surface in our lifetime. We are reminded today that there is much for us to see, learn and try if we allow ourselves to stray from our path now and then. We can expand our lives in ways we could never before imagine.

Sometimes life forces us to stray off  beaten path but we don’t have to wait for that to happen. We can choose to explore. We have a choice. We always have a choice.

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.

-Explore the unbeaten path.

What made me smile yesterday….

-Seeing both my girls.

-Lost a credit card. That would normally really cause me stress. I simply came home, canceled it, ordered a new one and went to bed.

-A good book.

-Lots of good wishes for Bruce. I appreciate the thoughts and support.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,

Rev. Chris
