It is amazing the things that we can accomplish in one given day.  We are miraculous beings and are attention is called for in so many ways through our day.  Admittedly, I pride myself on my ability to multi-task.  Everything from cleaning up my kitchen while talking on the phone to listening to the radio while driving.  Even at work I have two computer screens so I can be working on two different documents at the same time. Technology is miraculous at helping us all to accomplish more with less time.  But do we really accomplish more?  What nuances do I miss in the conversation when I am wiping my counter and listening to my friend?  Am I really paying attention to what the other drivers are doing or the lyrics going through my head or even more so, thoughts about the past or the future connected to my destination? God is the God of the present.  I know that because it is where I am in this moment.  One of the treasures of my daily date with God is that nothing else is happening.  I am just sitting in my comfy chair and breathing and focusing on God–that can be visual or my breath or just saying the word love over and over again.  I know that time is so sacred.  I am completely immersed in it.  I think it tickles me because I am aware that God is completely immersed in me in that moment as well.  I am not saying there are always fireworks but over time this moment of my day has become so sacred because it is an immersion experience.  The challenge for me is, how can I carry that through my day into the not so immersed moments?  My prayer for you today is that you find one experience that you are willing to be completely present to and be able to see the gift that it truly is to you and the others who may be involved.  I will do the same.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
