As far as I know, this is the only life we have to live. At least it is the only one I am given to live this day and in this moment. I can spend my time in this life wishing it were different, begrudging the things that I don’t like or I can spent it focused on what I am grateful for. That means that while things come up that I don’t like or don’t want to deal with I ask God to show me how I can be grateful for them or how I can grow more fully in love with the life I have because of them. How I choose to see my life is my decision and I always have the choice. It doesn’t mean that I deny that I am disappointed or that it is what I imagined it would be or that I don’t get frustrated. Instead I can notice those emotions as indications of where my thinking is. My prayer for us today is that when we find ourselves wishing we were somewhere or someone else, we have the courage to ask for the eyes of our spirit to see God in this very moment. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
