Mindfulness Moment #1 - BREATHE

Every time you breathe, you breathe IN the HOLY SPIRIT, Thanks be to GOD!

It doesn’t cost anything.

You don’t need a lot of space to do it.

You don’t need anyone’s help.

You don’t need any special equipment.

You can do it any time, anywhere.

It's a BIG idea!

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”― Fred Rogers

My tribute to Stephen Abbott: https://youtu.be/Xxe-lQN5sXM?si=al4R58XT7y-_e8gy

As you go out in the neighborhood, love your neighbor.  We are compelled by God's love to "git 'er done."

And "just a little talk with Jesus will make things right!"

When you take care of yourself, you can do the work God is calling you do:

MAKE A DIFFERENCE
