Nothing happens by accident. If one day we wake up and find
on our bed a beau
tifully wrapped present with delicate bows, we would
open it even before washing our face, curious about what is inside.
Maybe we would find something that we do not like very much...then we
would put away the box wondering what to do with the present.
Maybe
the next day we would find another present, and this time, it is something
that we like very much: maybe a memory from someone who is far
away, a beautiful clothing we saw on a
window shop, keys to a new
car, a beautiful winter coat, or just a beautiful flower from somebody
who has remembered us.
This happens every day, but we do not realize it. Every day when we wake
up, it is there, before us, a present sent to us by God: a whole day to
use in the best possible way. Sometimes it comes with problems,
issues that we do not seem to be able to solve. Sometimes it comes with
sadness, deception, even tears.
But other times, it comes full of surprises, happiness, success and
achievements.
What is important is that, every day we receive a present, wrapped
especially for us while we sleep. We are presented this box with colored
bows, no matter what the day brings. That day when we wake up every
morning is a present that life itself gives us. It is not always what we wish
nor what we hope for but it is the best for us, what we need most, what
we have to learn and what we need to grow.
Let’s open our present every day, giving thanks to the Creator
who gives us, without thinking what is inside the box.
If today
we do not receive the present that we want, let's wait for the next one and
appreciate what we've received today.
Tomorrow
let's open our
present with love and enthusiasm, because one day our dreams and the
life plan for us will come inside the box, beautifully wrapped for
us.
Life does not always give us what we want, just about what we need and that
is good.
May we have a day full of
blessings, in which we can feel the loving presence of our Creator, and
may the present of every day bring us peace, spiritual growth, and
enlightenment on all we still have to learn about every day, and the plan
life has for us, every day.....

The
great blessings of mankind are within us and
within our reach; but we shut our eyes, and like people in the
dark, we fall foul upon the very thing we search for, without finding
it. Seneca (7 B.C.) |
