For your consideration…
Everyone has things they are ashamed of…secrets…things we don’t want anyone to know.
Our message today tells us that these secrets are shadows hanging over us. They separate us. They make us feel alone. But we are not alone. We are not the only one who feels shame or guilty.
We are encouraged today to get rid of the shame and guilt once and for all. How? Programs like AA use mentorship. The Catholic Church uses confession. We can find a mentor. Still not comfortable? Then write it all down. Bare your soul. Give it up to God. Then burn it and be done with it.
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.
-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.
-Get rid of the shameful shadows.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A beautiful day.
-Catching up with Mary and Alex.
-Work in my office. I still have a long way to go but the rest of the house is almost done.
-A good book.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
