God is so enamored with us that we are given gifts every moment of every day. Each experience we have is a gift! Each breath we are given is a gift. Each decision we get to make is a gift. Each opportunity to act is a gift. Every circumstance and situation is a gift. We are often so set on what we expect our gifts to be that we miss the ones that are right in front of us. We foresee certain packaging, delivery forms, and givers. We even think we know how we are going to react to the gift. But the essence of a gift is being present for the present. If we have already decided what it will look like, how it will come, who will deliver it, what the packaging will be, and what it will feel like to receive it, then it is not a gift. The gifts from God are opportunities to grow in love. The gifts of circumstances where we choose to be our authentic higher selves and respond with the love that we are. In those moments we are the gift and we can receive the unexpected gift that comes from being in alignment with God. Accepting is the answer. We cannot fully receive a gift if we are not willing to be present in the circumstance in which it is being given. To accept the gifts being given, it helps to be present for the present. My prayer for us today is that we ask for the courage to see the circumstances of our day as the gifts that we didn’t know we wanted or needed but trust that Spirit knows gifts. Make it a great one!
