From Life for Life
Wednesday Self-Reflection
Do you find inspiration in these newsletters but don’t want to commit to a paid membership? Consider the option to…
Today, I invite you to spend some time in silent consideration. Imagine me sitting with you and asking the following questions. Allow the time to turn into an internal conversation with me. I think this works best as a journaling exercise.
Make a list of all the ways you have given of yourself to help someone get out of a bind in the last week. This could be offering them insight, physical help, or even financial assistance.
Look at the list and take some time to feel good about the ways (whether small or large) you have improved someone’s life. Imagine how appreciative they are, even if they didn’t say it.
We are all meant to participate in helping each other enjoy the gift of life. Go do something nice for yourself so you, too, can enjoy life. Maybe buy a nice cup of coffee. Maybe read a book. Maybe spend time with a loved one. Let this participation in giving and receiving a gift from yourself be your way of helping you enjoy the gift that is your life.
Peace, Bo

Support the Cause
My mission is to promote the progressive Christian voice in the spiritual/theological marketplace. I hope that by doing so I will help make the world a more loving place one newsletter at a time.
If you are not already a paying subscriber, I encourage you to consider it. It takes many (many) hours each week to create all the content for this project, and by becoming a paid subscriber you support the greater mission through me.
Will you consider becoming a financial supporter of the mission for only $6 per month? If so, I would greatly appreciate it.
