With the holidays coming up, this photo brings to mind a helpful message. Recently, I heard a minister say that we are most susceptible to an ego attack when we are:
Hungry
Angry
Lonely
Tired
The first letters of each symptom spell the word H.A.L.T. Halt! Stop!
It's true. Patience runs thin when our physical bodies are unhappy. We are tempted to react and take the bait. That's when it's important to stay vigilant. Try hard to remain silent when it is not necessary to speak.
Taking this photo today, I noticed again the bold directional arrow above the red STOP symbol points upward.
A signal for me to STOP before reacting. To look up, and take the high view of whatever it is that is tempting me to disturb my peace. Everything is either Love. Or, a call for Love. By asking the Holy Spirit's help to see peace instead of the grievance at hand, peace will come, but I must be willing to slow down and yield my own need to be right. It only takes a little willingness, but the effort is well worth the outcome. Harmony.
In closing, the 60's Hit by the Supremes just came to mind. "Stop! in the Name of Love!"
Wishing you a joyful, loving, peaceful and abundant Thanksgiving!
Enjoy your day with the Angels.
Love and joyful blessings,
Rae Karen
