Life can hit hard and sometimes it feels impossible to believe that there’s a Divine Hand guiding things. But if we can find even the smallest light of hope, clarity can find us and we can grasp that Divine Hand, fully awakened. Join us as we find that light and join hands with Divinity! April 20 – Resurrecting Hope (Easter)On this Easter Sunday we look at the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus as a metaphor for how far Ego will go to destroy peace, sabotage our relationships, and deflect the miracles of our Divine inheritance and how God’s power, through love, can conquer it all. April 27 – Light of HopeBad news and personal struggles can leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and emotionally drained. The last thing we want to do in such times is work on finding hope, but that is exactly what we should do. Taking steps like expressing gratitude, learning something new, acknowledging an accomplishment, and delighting in the simplest thing – no matter how small – can break up the negative thought patterns we get stuck in and re-orient our thinking. In doing so, we rediscover a sense of hope, and a belief that things really will be okay. May 4 – Hope Is In…Taking inspiration from Tim Burton’s 2010 adaptation of Alice in Wonderland and her own personal struggles, Rev. Gina reminds us that there is always hope. Having trouble finding hope? Seek evidence. Look at your life and see evidence of your having survived and grown through other challenges. May 11 – Here’s Hoping”I hope they get what they deserve.” This not uncommon thought, despite using the word “hope,” is actually a judgement. Being able to find hope – true hope – when the going gets rough takes effort in acknowledging there is a Divine Hand in everything. This Divine Hand, the Spirit of Love, moves even the worst situation toward good. May 18 – Only HopeRev. Gina closes this series by bringing pieces of seemingly shattered life events together to form a beautiful kaleidoscope of hope showing that even when it looks like all hope is lost, in our deepest winter, Spirit was planting a seed we’d one day call our greatest gift. When the Light seems entirely gone, even when the world seems so dark you can’t imagine it spinning any more, inherent in the darkness – bringing you vivid color – is a glorious reality waiting for you if you only choose to see it.
