One of thewisdoms that comes with time is the value of it.  We begin to recognize that the days, the months, and the years pass more and more quickly.  I still remember as a kid in 6th grade looking at the calendar thinking, oh my goodness it is forever until June when school gets out.  As we step into this wrap of the 2014 year we often hear a conversation about the opposite: “I can’t believe Thanksgiving is here already.  Where did the year go?”  Good question.  I suppose it came one day at a time the way it normally does.  What I want to look at is what did I spend that year doing.  It matters little in the end if it moved fast or slow, I want to know that I spent the time doing something of value.  When I look at the day yesterday or the past week, did my time consist of being and doing in ways that are in alignment with my greater purpose of growing in love.  Did I face the challenges to love that came my way with a sense of surrender, an openness to learn or a willingness to let go of thinking that wasn’t working for me?  Or did I close off my heart and think I had to figure it out on my own?  Did the value of last month’s heart growth show in my courage to take in all the good that came my way or did I brush it off because it didn’t show up the way I wanted?  My prayer for us today is that we ask God for the courage to be and do that which emanates our value and the value of others in love.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
