When God created All That Is everything that could possibly be was considered.  When God gives usbreath each morning the plan is not to leave us hanging the rest of the day but rather ignite a beginning of life.  We are given an invitation.  It is up to us to accept it.  The beautiful part about how we are created as that without much thought we accept this first gift of a new day.  Within us is this connection to All That Is that knows to accept the gift.  Why then would not everything else we encounter throughout the day be the possibility of more gifts?  It is only the preconceived notion that gifts show up in specific packages that causes us to see the ones that come in an unwelcome wrapping as noy gifts at all.  I have noticed that when I look at the things I had not planned on dealing with or the people who are “getting in my way” as gifts and opportunities to ask God what to do here, my day goes much smoother.  Perhaps it is not about the gift being in the packaging we want but an invitation to consider that everything is a gift if we check in with the Giver as to what to do with it instead of whether or not to accept it.  My prayer for us today is that we consider the most un-gift like thing or person we come across as a gift to invite God into our perspective in that moment so we can see it as the gift of the day.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
