Christmas Greetings

Christmas

Christmas comes but once a year

To light our life and stir our soul

It brings great joy and peace within

To sing of Christmas all year long

This is a special time of year and one that is especially meaningful for me. I was born in December and enjoy the season a lot. Christmas has always been a special time for me with all the colored lights, the decorated houses with there Christmas trees all lit up and even the snow, all have they’re meaning special meaning for me. Yes, special because it is the time when we celebrate the birth of Christ. To sing of his birth and act out the story of his birth as described in the Bible.

A time when the shortest day of the year is celebrated by the billons of people on this earth. Celebrated for thousands of year as a “pagan” holiday with music, dancing, and drinking. A time to celebrates the fact that each day will become longer as we look forward to Spring. Spring, as the time the earth bring forth its abundance and fills us with hope.

As we look at this time of year, we can’t help thinking about all of the people who have so much and all those who have so little. We all share in this time. We all think about family, friends and giving. We give to those who are in need, and we give to each other as an expression of love that says, “your special to me”.

As you think about this time, I hope you will think about all the people in your life now and all those who where part of your life in time past. Send each one a special blessing and a prayer of love for the New Year.

May God bless you one and all.
