Living Gift

The world would have you believe that you are an impulse.  A stomach to be fed, a reaction that cannot be contained, an urge to be fulfilled.

You are marketed to, tantalized, wooed-in, and teased.

A consumer.

Something to be controlled.

Something to be manipulated.

Something to be used.

But these things are a twist of the reality; a perversion of the truth.

You are a gift.

Designed to be given.

Designed for generosity.

Made in Love.

Enjoy

Today is the Sabbath.

It was created for you.

Ride a bike, paint a picture, milk a cow, play catch with a child…

Rest.

Rest in the fact that you are not a number or a cog in a wheel.

Rest your worries for tomorrow.

Rest in knowing that “it” is not up to you.

You were created to enjoy all of this.

Today is a gift.
