The Light Is Coming

During these days of decreasing light, there comes a time, just a moment when we pause.
Take a breath and for a moment hesitate and choose again, release and begin again.
This is the season to be aware, be forgiving, be hopeful, filled with faith and charity.

At this winter solstice, where Son shines just a few moments longer each day, we can choose to remember, to awaken and see the intrinsic Holiness within all things and all Beings.

When we see with forgiving eyes, we see the wounded needing to be healed.
When we see with forgiving eyes, we see the ignorant calling for the right to education.
When we see with forgiving eyes, we see the hungry we are called to feed bodies and minds.
When we see with forgiving eyes, we see those who are hopeless as calling for opportunities.
When we see with forgiving eyes, we see the fearful as seeking reassurance and rest.
When we see with forgiving eyes, we see the helpless as calling for empowerment.
When we see with forgiving eyes, we see the angry as calling for respect and true listening.
When we see with forgiving eyes, we see the homeless, disheartened, and grieving as calling for LOVE.
When we see with forgiving eyes, we see with mercy and loving kindness.
When we see with forgiving eyes, we see with compassion and a willingness to listen deeply.
When we see with forgiving eyes, we see with hope and faith and Love.

And when we forget to forgive what we see, let us forgive ourselves and remember…
What is our calling?
Seek the Light and Celebrate the Light.
Listen for the Love.
Give only with Joy.
Extend to All the Peace of God, the Peace of Light, The Peace of Remembering..
Celebrate the new light, the new birth, this renewed season of hope and faith and Love.

The Light has come.
We have forgiven the world.
The Light has come.
We have forgiven ourselves.
The Light has come.
We are willing to choose again with a renewed and renewing Spirit.

Loving you with forgiving eyes and a heart that is filled with Hope and Faith and Love,
Betty Lue
