There is nothing nicer than the greeting you receive at a friend’s house when you go over for a party or holiday celebration or get-together.  The look on the face of the host when he or she opens the door and smiles because they are so glad to see you.  They open the door wide and welcome you to their home.  At that moment you feel wanted and special and accepted.  That is how God greets us every time we show up.  We knock and the door opens and the Creator of the Universe smiles wide and big and opens the door and invites us in.  He greets us with a welcoming hug and says how he is so happy that we could make it.  We have taken that action and shown up.  When events happen in my life I would like to say that I welcome them in to my home, my heart as the lessons that will expand my capacity for love but that is not always the case.  I am a work in progress.  I do believe that life happens for me, not to me.  It is up to me to keep showing up and to trust that anything I think I cannot handle can be handled by me and God.  I aim to be more welcoming of things that happen in my life as opportunities to grow closer to God and to myself.  There seems to be a direct correlation between that and my welcoming attitude towards other people.  After all, I am here to be a representation of God so I can be the host on the other side of the door that you knock on and smile and welcome you into my home.  My prayer for you today is that you see whatever circumstance or event that occurs today as a welcome gift from God–an invitation to You.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
