It's Christmas Eve! Over 2000 years ago in a far off land on a cold Winter's night we were given the greatest gift of all! It didn't come to us wrapped up with a pretty bow under a tree. We didn't need a gift receipt in case it didn't fit. No batteries or cables needed to make it work. It was the greatest gift the world has ever known, sent in the image of a sweet little baby. And the world has never been the same ever since.
Sometimes we tend to forget what Christmas is all about. It's not about presents, it's about presence. Be present in the lives of those you love...and in the lives of those you don't even know. Let them know that you represent the "reason for the season". Do something kind for someone and expect nothing in return for it. Help someone out. Lend a hand. Say a prayer. If we all followed the command to "Love thy neighbor as thyself", we would have no war and no strife. So let's try to do that one day at a time, one person at a time.
Wishing everyone a Merry CHRISTmas and a very peace-filled and healthy New Year to come.
* Watch for my year in review coming up!
WELL SAID!!
