When we open our eyes and take our first breath of the day we are saying yes to the gift of life.  Yes to the possibilities of God’s wonders to perform throughout the day. Yes to the viability of hope. Yes to the belief that Love wins even when it is the underdog.  If ever during the course of our day we forget any of these things, we need only to stop and take another breath and connect with Spirit.  We are not human beings who have spiritual experiences we are spiritual beings having a human experience.  This is why when we are aligned with God and our truest selves time and space seem to not exist.  We refer to those experiences as being high or being in the zone.  Many of us try to recreate that on strictly physical level.  As one who has suffered a physical addiction I know the dark side of where that can take one at an extreme.  I believe that our spirit so craves to be in union with God and experience the prosperity of the heavens that we will go to any lengths to get it.  Augustine in his confessions said, “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.”   We think this restlessness will be consoled by something in the world when we forget that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. So we seek out the event, the possession, the person, the title, etc. to connect. It may work for a while but ultimately it will fall short because only God can fill that hole in our hearts.  Only our alignment with God allows us to be whole.  My prayer for us today is that we embrace the prosperity granted to us with our breath as many times throughout the day as we want to be awakened to it and feel that sense of wholeness.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
