Each day that we wake up, open our eyes and take a breath we have entered into an agreement. God says, “Okay, Good Morning Sunshine, here is my gift to you for today.” It is then up to us what we do with that gift. Sometimes it can seem overwhelming to enter into a new day especially if it is filled with a list of “to-dos”. God is more interested in who we are going to be than what we accomplish. Our lives our lived in our actions but it is the intention, the presence, and the way of being behind our actions that carries our energy through the day. Many people are familiar with the description of love from the Christian scripture of St. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, “Love is patient, love is kind . . .” However just before that portion of the letter, he explains to the community that if he does great things, has great knowledge, faith, etc. but does not have love he is clashing gong or a clanging symbol; “I am nothing”. Then he goes on to describe what real love is and when we look closely we notice that many of those characteristics are often beyond us. Paul encourages his leaders to redefine their understanding of love. We all know what the expectation is, we all know what it looks like and we can fake it but true love comes from connecting with in us to the Source of All Love. Loving with our whole self is what we are called to do and our actions can either lead us in that direction or away from it. Being patient and kind are ways of acting in love that connect us with the Creator of love. We can do them because they are the “right thing to do” or we can do them with our whole heart and be them. My prayer for us today is that we be open to practicing love by being what it is that we are doing in love. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
