Good morning and Merry Christmas
I can hardly believe that it is Christmas Eve. No doubt
you're in disbelief at how quickly the year has passed. While many of us are
preparing for Christmas Eve services and Christmas Eve family decorating, we do
not want to forget about those in our circles that are hurting. Let us not
forget about those outside of our circles and remember those that are homeless
with no family or friends.
The older I get, the more I rely on a quote from Dr. Seuss, “Christmas
doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps mean a little bit more..” Since
the onset of the pandemic in 2020, I have learned to look beyond the magical
lights, decorations, gifts, and parties to see the true magic of Christmas. The
magic of Christmas, to me, is looking beyond your present circumstance, looking
beyond the material things, and looking beyond the political and social scenes
of our nation. I encourage you today to look beyond Christmas Day and rediscover
the magic.
I've been observing and journaling the behavior of my
granddaughter over the past several weeks; since we decorated the Christmas
trees, and she is so excited about Christmas. It's all pretty magical and
beautiful to her. Of course, she's not worried about a triple-demic, disruptions
in the supply chain, and certainly not social and political unrest. Of course,
she's not concerned with those situations because she is a child. Is it
possible for us to regain some of that magic and innocence?
While Santa is a cool dude and no doubt, he's known to be
very generous, let us not forget that Christmas is about the birth of God's son
Jesus. Jesus came into the world to give us love, hope, joy, and peace. This
message and gift will never change for me and my house.
Bessings & Merry Christmas,
Cyndi
Laugh More 
BE the Magic
