Daily Meditation for January 7

Good Morning!  It is a crisp and frigid -29 degrees Fahrenheit in my neck of the woods this bright, sunny morning and here is our day's meditation.

January 7
The greatest gift we can give one another is rapt attention to one another's existence.
 
-Sue Atchley Ebaugh
 
We all want to matter to others.  Very often in the past-- and sometimes in the present--our behavior has screamed for the attention we seek from others.  Perhaps, instead of trying to get attention, we ought to give it.  The program tells us we have to give it away in order to keep it.  Wisdom of the ages also dictates that in life there are no accidents.  Those people close to us and those just passing through our lives have reason to be there.  Giving attention to another's humanity is our calling.

I will fully attend to another person I have occasion to be with today.  She will matter to me,and my attention will matter to her.
 
Blunt:  While providing attention to another person we are also providing love.  What we provide to others in turn is provided to us.
