God wants me to be fully aware of every breath of air I take,
every bite of food, every smile from a baby, every word I read, every song I
hear, every kiss on the lips. God loves
ordinary things.
There are three qualities required to grow: Committed, Coachable and Aware
Awareness:
Most often happens in hindsight, but God wants to give us present
moment awareness. To be aware of things
as they are actually happening.
One way to practice awareness is when receiving Jesus in the Eucharist
this Sunday.
The greatest enemy of awareness is multi-tasking. We don’t actually accomplish more when we
multi-task.
To grow in awareness:
- 1 When I’m with people, give them 100% of my attention.
- 2. Stop multi-tasking.
Whatever I am doing, give it 100% of my attention, get it done, then move on the next thing.
It is important for me to take a step back and listen to God’s
plan. Find God in the air I
breathe. Bring God back to each moment.
Focus:
God wants to give me present-moment awareness. He wants me to be aware of things while they
are actually happening.
Act:
Learn to find God in the ordinary activities of daily life. At the end of the day, write down three times
when I was fully aware of God in my day.
Pray:
God, help me to find you in the ordinary; help me to immerse
myself in the present moment so I can be with you.
Amen.
