What a beautiful time to remember the Light.
In the darkest time, see the One Light within you.
In the most difficult struggle, seek the point of
connection.
In the loneliest moments, look for someone who needs you.
Remember, life is for giving.
We are here to see where we can give.
When we are alone, we need to see how we are all one.
When we are having challenges, we need to ask for help.
Giving thanks for what is received is Gift.
Giving our welcoming and our joy is Gift.
Giving our affirming positive prayer is Gift.
Giving our Presence with caring and sharing is Gift.
Whether alone or with family and friends, honor the gift you
are.
Take some time of quiet to rejoice in bringing the gift
of yourself.
Be willing to think on your life as a sacred journey of
learning.
Open you heart to the blessings you have received and be
grateful.
Fill yourself up with the sweet memories you have shared.
Appreciate the value of giving to others through thoughts
and words.
Clear up any place of withholding yourself from extending
peace.
Understand and experience what you give you do receive.
Your holiness abides in you, whether apparent or not.
Your innocence returns with continuing forgiveness.
Your joy emerges from a place of willingness to live.
Your peace is gift of the Love You Åre to your world.
When we come to each day and again on Christmastime, we can
celebrate the Good in ourselves.
Simply Love being You.
Simply Give what is True.
Simple Recognize the Blessings Already Are.

The Night Before Christmas
T'was the night before
Christmas and all through the earth
Was the light of love
shining, a holy new birth.
Forgiveness completed, all
judgments aside,
My conscience was clear with
no hint of pride.
My worries behind me (I'd
put them to bed)
While visions so heavenly
danced in my head.
The job and the family, all
routine, a snap.
Unaware, I was into a
spiritual nap.
When out of the calm, there
arose such a clatter.
My life was unsettled.
Now what was the matter.
Away from my habits I flew
like a flash.
I threw off attachments, and
then came the crash.
The feeling was alien,
nothing the same.
I couldn't describe it or
give it a name.
When what to my wondering
eye should appear
But a blaze of white light,
and coming so near,
With a little old angel so
lively and quick
I knew in a moment, I was
going to be sick.
More rapid than eagles his
values they came
And he whistled and shouted
and called them by name:
"More honesty,
tolerance, gentleness, trust,
Faithful and generous, with
patience a must.
To topple defenses and
breach the fear wall
Now dash away, smash away,
drop away all."
As just as the leaves in a
hurricane swirl,
Or a dancer will leap or
will jump or will twirl,
So up in the air all the
pieces they flew
And I felt when I looked,
I'd see everything new.
And then in a twinkling, I
felt with a start,
The growing and glowing,
expanding my heart.
As I came to my senses and
was turning around
I saw in the mirror an image
profound.
He was bathed in bright
light from his head to his toe
(His clothes were quite
common so no one would know)
The weight of the world had
just dropped from his back
And he danced like a peddler
devoid of his pack.
He moved and he walked with
a sense of great ease.
His lack of self-judgment
made him easy to please.
The smile of his mouth was
the shape of a bow,
It would light up a crowd
wherever he'd go.
His relative silence bespoke
inner peace
Letting all in his presence
experience release.
He had a bright face and a
happy, strong laugh
Which touches the heart,
cuts resistance in half.
He was loving and kind, a
right jolly old elf
And I laughed when I saw
him, in spite of myself.
A wink of his eye and a nod
of his head
Soon gave me to know I had
nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but
went straight to his work.
He listened within (a
somewhat strange quirk).
But touching his hand to the
side of my face
We joined, became one, with
no distance or space.
I knew in that moment just
what my gift was
To love all of my brothers,
with no "why" or "because".
And I'm here to exclaim, as
I grow in Love's light,
Merry Christmas to all, it
will turn out all right.
