This year I’ve felt more compelled to share the Christmas message through everything I do more than ever before. Maybe it’s the downturn of the economy, maybe it’s the brokenness seen all around us, the push to spend on things we don’t need, the devastation of what losing jobs or losing a loved one can bring, but whatever it is, I want be constantly reminded of the reason we celebrate during this time. I want to feel the stirring of Christmas inside my heart and act out what that gift means in my daily life and that means sharing it here on my web site with you.
The gift of this season is of the heart. It’s not in the money you spend or the number of gifts you buy. It’s about giving and receiving from the heart. My prayer for you this season is that you know the miracle of Christmas, that you feel the warmth of a love greater than anything you’ve ever known, that you live charitably, you give freely and you love more deeply. If we all take a step in the direction of more tolerance, more acceptance and more understanding, we will certainly live in a healthier world. That’s not necessarily a Christmas message, but a message of hope for all humanity.
Share this time with your family, your friends and everyone you meet so that they to can see the Christmas in you.
