The great capacity of our heart and our being is the ability to care.  To bestow compassion upon another human being or situation.  We care event when we might not want to because we are uniquely connected to one another and this world.  We are affected by things seen and unseen, attitudes and actions, and states of being.  With so much coming at us at once it is hard sometimes to distinguish between which we should care about more.   Sometimes we tell ourselves and others that we don’t care when what we really mean is that there is no room left for us to care.  God bestows upon on us his very nature in this capacity to care.  For it is God that is the Great Carer.  It is God that is the Great Compassionate One.  When we find ourselves too overwhelmed to care or not wanting to we can look to God to reconnect with how to use the gift of caring.  We can also show the same care for ourselves that we show for others and vice versa.  When we leave ourselves out of the caring equation our capacity to care for things outside of ourselves is limited because it is coming from an ego place or a place of “should”.  It is not coming from a care-filled heart that is filled with so much love that it flows over.  My prayer for us today is that we connect with the Great Care Giver and received the care bestowed upon us with the breath of life and let it flow in and out.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
