Solace

Offering comfort or consolation in a time of sadness or distress and quite appropriate during these most challenging of times, solace is something I’ve thought about frequently today. My observation is people are confused and also scared. They have little direction from leadership. It’s a challenging time for many, more so than before. I have to remember the words in the prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi, “seek to comfort than be comforted” when speaking with friends.

All I need, I have. More importantly, He has always provided and will continue to do so. That I am certain of since it’s ALWAYS been the case. What I consider important today, is to help strengthen the belief in Him in others. People, friends, and family are uncertain, unsure, and fearful. It’s during these times, challenging and uncertain times, that He shows us how well He provides and how much He loves us.

So, I will continue to offer comfort, solace, and consolation for those who don’t know and trust Him as much as myself. I will continue to live under His grace, a bestowal of blessings. This event is temporary but His grace is eternal.

Today, Monday, March 30, I am grateful that:

My resolve is strengthening. It’s counter intuitive for some, but for me, I’m working harder and being more productive. I’m doing more now than before as this will end and I need to be ready. I need to maximize the time I have here.

During a conversation with Daniel today, I conveyed a certain truth. The realization that my schedule hasn’t been impacted much. My morning schedule remains unchanged. The only interruption to my afternoon schedule is my break for an afternoon snack at the local bakery. I’ll work towards more productivity, as I want to reap what I’ve sown.

I’m positioned spiritually to offer assistance. I’m more convinced now than before. I know He will take care of all of His children. It may get worse(more sick, more deaths, more losses financially) before it gets better, but we are all His children. He only wants the best for His kids. I am no different than others, with the exception, I know how much He loves me.

How will you offer solace today?

How will you help others today?

Do you know you’re His favorite?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
