Do you have a God in your life?

[Jill]

I know that everyone has to live their own lives and I think praying helps people connect not only with God but with each other.

[Mark S]

If that connection I have is with something other than God then I have to say, "Identify your self !!" because I've been thanking the wrong one for the guidance, tests, reminders and blessings that happen in my life daily. If I'm not wearing my "God-glasses", sometimes I don't recognize those things, but they still happen if only I can get out of my own way again, and slowdown enough to pause, look, appreiciate and gratefully accept the gifts that are always there, given freely, with love and nurturing intent.

In spite of my enormous ego, I can honestly say that I (as a human) do not have the mental capacity to fully comprehend God. Today I don't have to know, I don't have to understand, I just have to accept it and pay attention. But luckily she/he/it/or whatever knows what I need in my life, how to connect with me even when I don't want to listen. I try to remember to have a quiet moment often so I can check my spiritual "in-box" and "reply" with a "thankyou", and when the "in-box" is empty I "compose" a "thankyou" to let God know I'm practicing love, acceptance, and patience.
