For your consideration…
How many times have you said or heard, “It feels like I am going backwards instead of forward?” Of course, we know that is not possible because time does not move backwards. But it feels like we are not moving forward.
Our message today tells us that when we feel like this, we are actually taking a high-level look at our lives. We feel like we are not moving forward, and the question is, “why?”
It is because we have not completely learned the lesson we are currently experiencing. Life is a series of building blocks (lessons). To be successful, we need to complete them and get them established in our lives before we move on to our next lesson. We are not being punished. We are not failures. We are just moving forward at a slower pace until we complete the work that needs to be done.
It is all good.
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.”
-Remember…You are the keeper of your light. Wherever you go, there can be no darkness.
-Mediate/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.
-Relax and notice the high level look and see what you need to complete before you move on.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A beautiful day.
-Conner’s birthday party was a rip-roaring success.
-In all the chaos, we all tried to keep an eye on Owen. Shannon was standing near the island and thought she heard something. She opened the pantry door and found Owen in it. Too funny.
-I finished a good book for my book club, The Yankee Widow.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
