You have been given this day as a gift.
What do you do when you have been given a gift?
Do you anticipate what is under the wrapping?
Do you tear the paper off with joyous abandonment.
Can you imagine being given a gift and not caring to open it,
not being attracted to the pretty paper
or wondering what is inside.
Can you see yourself not thanking the giver?
or not smiling or acknowledging the gift?
Would you carelessly toss it aside as if it had no worth?
We do this with gifts of all kinds more than we care to admit.
We do it without thought, in ignorance,
and sometimes in anger and spite.
To fully love and welcome each new day,
we must receive God’s gifts in our hearts.
