JUST A MOMENT: WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING?

There’s a glass bowl in our building filled with smooth stones. On each stone is a single word: Peace. Comfort. Direction. Hope. Blessing.

People often reach in and take one.

What strikes me is how often the word someone chooses turns out to be exactly what they needed that day.

Maybe that’s true for all of us. We may not need all the answers right now. Maybe we just need one good word to carry.

So, what word does your heart need today?

Peace?

Hope?

Comfort?

Direction?

Whatever it is, hold on to it. Carry it with you. Let it remind you that you don’t have to carry everything else.

Sometimes one small word can make a big difference.

Just a moment … what are you holding today?

. . .and just WHAT IS HOLDING YOU?
