Day 1: A Container of Divine Presence

On cold winter days, I especially like the feel
of my favorite coffee mug in my hands,
and I thoroughly enjoy the sips of liquid
that bring welcomed warmth into my body.
My coffee mug reminds me
that cups are containers
designed to hold something refreshing,
just as we are containers
meant to hold the Divine Presence.
Because God dwells within me,
I like to think of myself
as a mini Ark of the Covenant.
God goes with me wherever I go.
I carry God into each relationship and experience.
A powerful thought, that one.

Today: I am a container of divine presence.
