Whittling Away Gold Bars

If I am not careful I can become unconscious to the daily living that the grace-filled gift of time and space gives me.  I can awaken often during any day and realize that I am not living but existing, much like life support, whittling away the golden bars of life.  One of the greatest gifts is being aware of living, the ability to continually know you are alive.  Faith, lovers, family, nature, art, poetry, quietness are some of the things that continually awaken us to the moment to moment of living but One Being is tasked with that prompting, The Holy Spirit, He is responsible to continue to aware us of God who offers us many ways, including those above to know we are “alive in Christ.”
