As a kid I remember we would have leftovers for dinner sometimes.  It would happen after a celebratory meal or a big gathering. Did you ever notice that certain foods are better as leftovers? There was, of course, my favorite leftover pizza! Best breakfast food ever!  😉 We do not often think of what remains as being the better part of an experience.  When you have guests over, isn’t it the ones whom you know the best who remain and help clean up?  When we graduate, all that remains are memories in a big year book and the stories we tell about our time together.  After attending a sporting event or a performance of some kind what remains is our sharing of the experience with those there and others whom we tell.  No wonder our stories mean so much to us.  Our interpretation of what happens in our lives is what remains with us far after other elements fade away.  Our decisions about the impact of something or someone is what remains when it is over or they are gone.  God wants to remain with us always.  God is remaining in our hearts to help us interpret and be with the experiences of our lives.  God desires to always be the faint whisper reminding us that no matter what remains we can use it to make some thing new.  God is the very idea that remaining as close to what we can learn about love from any person or exchange is what will remain in our consciousness and create a vision through which to move forward.  Remaining in a space of love is what our hearts are designed to do, but I need God’s help with that.  My daily date is a space to ask God, help me see the remains of love and growth from love after all else has faded away today.
