dailydatewithgod

As I came to my date this morning, my mind was already preoccupied.  Sometimes my head seems to wake up before I do and is ready with a laundry list of things to worry about or how things are not how they are supposed to be.  So, I stop and thank God for the gift of this new day in which to live and be of service and if my head (you know the same voice in your head that right now is asking “what is she talking about?”) is still going,  then I often repeat the Serenity Prayer “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.” Or I say over and over “Veni Sancte Spiritus” which is Latin for come Holy Spirit.  Needless to say by the time for our date I felt I needed a mind makeover, so as God often does he invited me in and began to remind me of all the little things that were good about this moment.  That I am alive, that my body is moving, that the light will be up soon, that the rain which fell most of the night will wash all things away that need to move on, that I don’t have to stay inside my head all day because there is much to be done, the flowers on my table still smell fresh, the towel after the shower was warm and God thinks that I am lovely, even when my thoughts are not.  God is in awe of me because he created every cell of my body and being.  He gave me the gift of my brain and of thinking, he gave me ten toes and ten fingers, a heart that pumps oxygen to all those lovely little cells, and most of all He has given me the opportunity to appreciate all the multitude of little things where He is present today.  He wants me to experience the same awe that He does.  I like that, notice the little things that are blessings. The little things that I did not create, that came from some place greater and if that being greater than me can orchestrate all these lovely little things, it can certainly handle all the little elements of my life.  So as I face this day grateful for the time with God to pause and be reminded of how in awe he is of me, even the parts of me that I am not in awe of; I can then turn to live my day and look for all those things to be in awe of.  Will you join me and be in awe of all that is around you and within you, even if for just a moment?  Make it a great one.  Peace~Colleen
