Sometimes we lack imagination.  We become familiar with acceptable use of an item, purpose of an idea, intention of a person or group, and when it or they step out of the accepted norm our feathers get ruffled.  What would happen if we determined the use of family was to have as many farm hands as possible?  How upset would we be if we collectively agreed that the best use of an idea was to share something with others and engage in dialogue not throw it out as a truth that must be accepted if we want to be included?  Our minds are filled with all kinds of fixed ideas about what and how things are of best use.  When we step into our hearts we can see these same things through a different lens. It is not as much about what is acceptable as it is what is most needed at this moment.   How can we or an idea or an item best be of use right here, right now?  We do it in emergencies or the times we are faced with limited resources.  Otherwise, we default to what is normal or acceptable.  Our hearts open up our imagination by inviting the spirit of life into our system.  If we take a deep enough breath spirit can reach our minds and knock on the door of the expected and say, “imagine this . . .”  Suddenly we find an alternate use for something.  God invites us to stop suffering from a lack of imagination and use our hearts to open ourselves up to the spirit of use.
