There is so much to experience and so much to be a part of in this world.  God has gifted us with an abundance of options at any given moment.  Sometimes our viewpoint as human beings however becomes so limited that we can no longer see the options before us.  We become enclosed by our ideas that we are so fixed upon that we lose sight of All That Is.  I know that when I fear that I am not able to make a decision or am frozen by the limits that I have placed on myself and others, I need to reach out and ask God for a different point of view.  God how do you see this?  Remove from me what is causing my sight to be blinded. God does not condemn us for having a clouded perspective or going off and running with what we think we “know”. God simply invites us to ask if how we are viewing things is working for us.  Does my view-point enable me to give love freely?  Does my view-point encourage me to grow and learn a step at a time?  Does my point of view allow me to be open to being touched by all that I am experiencing?  Having spent a weekend with four of my favorite people in the world, I am amazed at how the power of friendship can transform lives.  I am so blessed to have these women in my life and am continually touched by their willingness to grow in friendship even after 30 years of knowing each other.  With all our imperfections, mistakes, some times being closer than others, we come together to be in each other’s presence once a year to bear witness to love by spending time together.  They have always taught me the value of acceptance even when maybe they couldn’t practice it for themselves.  They have shown me the power of committment and the willingness to keep going even when things don’t look so bright.  I am eternally grateful to God for these living angels and for my openness to receive the love that resides within us all. They have helped shape my view of the world.  My prayer for us today is that we be willing to view things differently when we find that our viewpoint isn’t working.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
