The Great Creator has designed everything that exists with such intricacy. The beauty of Being a being who encompasses All is that at no point does any part of what the Creator has fashioned become less important that the moment it first came to be.  We are cherished beyond belief.  We are looked upon and bestowed with the same amount and love and care today by our Creator that we were at our very first breath.  This is because the being that loves us to our core thought of us long before we even took physical form.  The depths of which we are loved and always will be loved is beyond our comprehension but All That Is knows nothing other than the preservation of the love from which we were originally generated.  So, how in the midst of a busy weekend participating in a world that seems bent on destruction where things don’t seem to go our way and we keep making mistakes or feel stuck do we preserve that same understanding of ourselves and the world?  How is that possible?  Like everything else, that which I cannot do, I turn to the one who does and ask to be shown how.  I recognize with enough humility that I don’t know how, despite my best intentions, fully invite love into my heart.  It is often blocked by my mind which is full of ideas of what it is supposed to be and feel like.  Sometimes those ideas do correlate with how love shows up in my life, but often it manifests in such unexpected ways. This is good because it reminds me that it is beyond the fullness of my understanding and allows me to be surprised and delighted by it.  I think that is one of the best things about love and grace is that when our hearts experience it in its fullness we are caught off-guard and don’t have time to create the potential barriers to it.  Maybe it really is about being present in the moments of our lives and having the openness and vulnerability to trust that LOVE is preserved in and around us at all times, we just need to breathe it in.  My prayer for us today is that we be willing to let go of our ideas of how love is going to show up in our lives and focus on the moments and maybe be surprised and delighted by its unexpected touch. Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
