Walk along a solitary nature trail listening to the rustling of the leaves, the birds singing in the trees and know earth is speaking to you.
Take a moment to listen in nature today. Pray in nature today. Breathe in and give thanks for the beauty that is given to us each day. Check out more 3 Minute Retreats here! When some hear the word ‘journal’ the eyes role, the dread mounts their minds, and the questions of ‘why’ flow like a river. Journaling is not an easy task for most and for those who do it easily will tell you they still have to make a time plan in order to make it happen. I have started more journals in my life time than I can count, but I also filled just as many. Some I burned in a ritual ceremony as a rite of passage for my self-preservation at the time, others I scanned onto my computer for future reflections and then special entries made their way into two books I am writing in order to share the gifts I learned and was given in life through such experiences.
I am grateful for having taken the time write my story down, for reflecting on life that has past which allowed me to learn, if I hadn’t already, the lessons from the experiences which at the time felt like their suffocation was something I would never survive. Today, step out of your comfort zone. Buy a notebook. Grab a cup of tea or coffee and find the perfect spot that brings you peace. Put a pen in your hand…and write. Don’t think, don’t stop, don’t question…just write. Your story is waiting to be heard today. Check our more 3 Minute Retreats here! My dear friend Mike is on a level all his own. Most days we all believe he has one on one's with the big guy for whatever he shares, teaches, or touches is of Grace. He has been living his life in countless ways to list for over 40 years...for others. His heart is so big, none compare. Today he shared one of his inspiring morning posts and I chose to take these three little words out. They are powerful. They are real. They are Mike. And...they are a challenge. How can you 'Be the sermon' today? Walking down the street when you see a homeless person, will you turn your head away or will you 'be the sermon?' When you are tired and worn out thinking there is just no more left in you when your child comes to you with wanting to spend some time, will you 'Be the Sermon?' When you have a choice to help or to hurt, will you choose words to, 'Be the sermon?'
There are so many we can list, but only you know your day. Only you know what's stopping you. Only you can make a choice to 'Be the sermon.' Check out more 3 Minute Retreats here!
There couldn’t be more truth in this not so simple little meme… I know when I get stuck focusing on the negatives or stress or worry whatever presents itself that it just intensifies like a rolling stone getting faster and faster. It can be so hard to pause, take a step back and choose differently, but when we do, we then choose the course of our path forward. What will you choose to grow today? |
