As we find ourselves in the month of December, we are getting ready to say goodbye to 2009 and usher in 2010.
December is a time where the Heavens shower us with love, joy and happiness to lift our spirits to heightened levels. We prepare for the coming of Christmas and celebrating the life of Jesus Christ. We adorn our homes and Christmas trees with lights and ornaments and share gifts with family and friends to express our love for them.
We enjoy the angelic sounds of Christmas carols everywhere we go, which permeates our very souls and brings a worldwide feeling of happiness that is evident more in this month and any other time of the year. It is a time to be grateful for everyone around us. Gratitude is needed year-round; it’s just that the holidays bring more people together on a conscious level all over the world.
It is important to remember the people who are living alone with no family members or someone who has experienced the loss of a loved one and is having a rough time during the holidays. Sending a Christmas card, stopping in to visit them or even inviting them to your celebrations can make all the difference in their lives. Can you imagine how happy they would be and how wonderful you would feel to bring joy into their hearts?
So many people have experienced a rough year financially, which could lead to anxiety when it comes to giving gifts. Please remember, the holidays are more about getting together and sharing love and joy. Making a gift can mean more to someone than going to the store and buying gifts. Make ornaments, cookies, bake a cake or a special dish to take to the party. It’s not about the gift; it’s about the people enjoying time together and celebrating this holy event.
Enjoy this month getting ready for this special holiday. Many people will be out and about doing the same, so try to show kindness to all whom you meet.
God Bless,
Sue
