Reflection & Renewal

This is the time of year for reflection and renewal of your spirit and all your relationships. As we do this in this season, we have to not only focus on ourselves, but those around us who need assistance or guidance. There are many who have gone off the path and are in nothing but darkness and hopelessness. I challenge each of us to be the light in someone else's darkness. I recently learned an acronym called H.O.P.E. It stands for Help One Person Everyday. This is an incredibly powerful and enduring way to walk through this life. We are are guilty of having blinders on and focusing on ourselves or those immediately in front of us, from time to time. But, when we reflect and identify all the wonderful blessings that exist in our own lives, we must and need to help others in their time of need and share those blessings. It doesn't have to be significant in size or monetary value, but it must be authentic and from the heart and soul of your being. I am a Christian and I try to be the best authentic version I can be everyday. It's not easy, but I always remember, especially during this season, that what Jesus did for me on that cross and provided me God's everlasting grace and forgiveness. It is the very least that I can do to try to H.O.P.E. everyday!!!! Be well and have a wonderful Season of Renewal & Reflection.....
