It is amazing when we think about how all of what exists started with an idea of God.  From the idea of LOVE God created all things, including us. We are invited to be co-creators with the Great Creator at every moment.  The only thing we need to remember is that we did not create ourselves.  I have often heard that the only thing I need to know is that there is God and I AM not it.  We are given many gifts and talents.  So many of these simple gifts of livingday to day get lost in their importance because we measure them by the world’s standards.  The gift of listening to a fellow human being without any agenda in our own minds has yet to win any awards.  Yet, at the end of a stressful day it is the one thing that I need most to feel loved by a dear friend.  The talent of sharing laughter at a moment when all seems lost and fruitless is often the one thing that keeps us from giving it up on it all.  A warm hug that lights you up from the inside when breathed in.  And those are just three examples.  What other gifts of being do you possess that perhaps you never thought to give much value?  These are the expressions of our being of LOVE.  These are the creations that we can form at a moments’ notice and touch the lives of those around us and ourselves.  When we remember who we are, who God is, and how we were created, we can form a life that exudes those qualities in all areas of our life.  When I spend my quiet time with God each morning and have the quietness my breath and the earnest desire to be at peace, I am able to remember from which I came.  Over time this has developed in an awareness of this sense throughout the day.  And when I forget all I have to do is stop and choose to form a new creation based in the truth of who I AM, who God IS and who you ARE.  Then and only then will I live the LOVE and peace of who I AM called to BE.  We help one another when we form these practical uses of our gifts.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to taking the smallest gift we have, offer it to God and ask how it can be formed and used to its greatest capacity.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
