Cultivating Receptivity
“Even in the ordinary tasks of ordinary life, we may be surprised by gifts of grace if receptivity becomes a habit. A hundred times a day small surprises await those who notice. Small, heart-opening encounters, impulses of kindness, consoling words, and new possibilities come to those who ready themselves and wait expectantly for the ‘new song’ God may give them to sing, even as God gives the reason for singing.”
