Each day we are given by God is a day to begin anew. A completely clean slate from which to live our lives. A new opportunity to trust in God and to see the world through the eyes of love. Each new day break which comes right after the darkest part of the morning gives life and breath to a new beginning. There is something so refreshing about watching the sun come up. There is almost a sense of relief when the light of the sun begins to break upon the dark night. I imagine that the same thing happens within our hearts. Unfortunately, our minds often wake up with what happened yesterday and fear of what will happen tomorrow and all of a sudden the new day’s fresh moment is dirtied or colored or lost, so to speak. The only way I know to get back to that new moment is to spend time at the beginning of this new day connecting with my Creator. To focus on my breath and experience that newness in my body. God does not spend time in yesterday or tomorrow, God is the moment, God is the gift. The beauty of all this is in the simplicity of just stopping and taking a breath to connect. And even better, at any point during my day when I feel my mind and my experience become cluttered, I can do the same thing and I experience that sense of cleansing of my heart. My part is being willing to let go of whatever I have latched on to in that moment. Most of all, it requires being willing to believe that God alway sees the good in me and is always ready to show it to me. My prayer for you today is that you know in your heart that at any moment you choose you can have a clean slate, you can experience a cleansing of love (touch by God) and start anew. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
