Short and sweet today . . . as I have to head back in to work . . .
Being Christmas Eve's eve, I know there are those of you who are putting on your helmet and shoulder pads and heading out to begin and/or finish up your shopping. I know that there are those of you who are trudging your way to the grocery store to get food for the masses and trying to remember everything so you don't have to put Funyons in your green-bean casserole. (Yes, I speak from experience!) I know that there are those of you who are exhausted from all of the above and are hiding in your homes, trying to relax before the mayhem ensues.
Take a moment today, to think beyond your own insanity! Move beyond your crazy schedule, your obligations, your last minute items, your wrapping, your baking, your frantic pace and just . . . be!
Let the true joy of Jesus' birth fill you and lighten your load. Allow the blessings that abound around you blot out the blinding abyss of obligations. Today . . . be filled with the PEACE that is Christmastime. Be enveloped with the JOY that the season brings. Be overwhelmed with the LOVE that is so evident at this time of year. It is all around you, if you allow it . . . if you assist it . . . if you perpetuate it!
Today, I wish you Peace, Joy, and Love!
And I wish you a large helping of eggnog.
