I still remember the little sign in the dentist’s office waiting room that read, “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.”  I read it over and over as I sat there waiting.  I am not sure to what degree I understood it at such a young age but it clearly left an impression.  In my relationship with God I have become aware that my perception is what I react to.  Living in awareness means recognizing my perception as limited.  I can only make so much meaning from things because I do not have the whole picture.  I then react to the meaning.  I need God’s perspective to broaden the meaning.  I find that when I asked God to help me see things as God sees things I am more at peace with what I am experiencing.  I don’t always like it but I am better able to accept it.  Acceptance leads to freedom of the heart. I desire the meaning of freedom and peace today.
