As we look toward the next few months of this holiday season and as we give thanks for the things we have, let us also remember how good life is.
Whether we have everything we want or have little – life is still good. Having an abundance of things doesn’t determine a good life. It’s having peace, joy and the sincere love for others that make life good. Life is good when we see how the sky and puffy white clouds keep us gazing. Life is good when we see the beauty in the colors of the trees that line our streets and life is good when our eyes are opened by a bright burst of sunshine each morning – awakening us. Life is good! Let us remember the simplicity of things in our lives that maintain our peace and give us joy – tis the season.
Sometimes we become overwhelmed with running to and from trying to get that perfect gift which expresses our love and gratitude. This is wonderful and it’s a sentiment that should be demonstrated whenever possible. But remember your worth and your strength as you remember others this season. While doing good toward others, helping those in need, loving and sharing special stories, take a moment to remember you. Take the time to have a breather from the hustle and bustle of your day this season. We are women and we will try to accommodate every friend, attend every party, fix every meal, and wrap every gift.
Let us not lose our zeal during this holiday season and most importantly, let us be thankful for the things that have been given to us as gifts – the things that give us peace and restore our joy.
This season is about giving love through sharing the best of what is on the inside of us – with our friends, family and to those we may not know. Decide to forgive someone, be more patient with that relative, and encourage the hurting during this holiday season – it’s about sharing and giving. It will bring you peace, comfort and joy. Remember your strength to persevere as you are remembering family members not within your reach and remember your value as you share a pricey gift with another.
Life is abundant and the fullness of it is before you – love it while embracing it. You still have today. It’s not over yet. Tis the season!
