It is a miracle each time that we choose life.  We take that first breath in the morning and thus acknowledge our existence, hopefully with some gratitude, and the game is on.  It is hard to recognize the miraculous nature of this acceptance of God’s invitation because we cannot know in that moment how many did not get a breath this morning.  We also don’t (although we think we do) know how many more breaths we will get today.  Each one is an opportunity to say yes to life and be surprised by what God has in store for us.  In all honesty, sometimes I find God’s little surprises in packages and forms that I would rather not have.  That is because I am looking at them from the content perspective or the ego mind that measures only the physical experience.   These surprises that come in wrappings that seem unappealing are the ones that often cause the greatest opportunity to grow and experience love in a manner beyond what I thought I was capable of.  That is God’s surprise for us–for us to know and experience on a deep level the love of which we are capable. When we experience it we begin to recognize the Great Love from which we were created.  God wants more than anything for us to be tapped into that reality of who we are.  This is our greatest purpose.  My prayer for us today is that we have the willingness to see beneath the wrapping and be open to the experience of love that it will create unexpectedly–surprise!!! 😉  Make it a great one !  Peace~Colleen
