For it is in giving that we receive – St. Francis of Assisi
This time of year many of us pause to take a good hard look at what it is to give as well perhaps at what it means to receive. I think about the gifts over time that I’ve wrapped to give and unwrapped to receive and how I honored some, yet others not so much.

Every one of us has to find the humble stable, the lowly place of the dumb animals and under our own bright star find the Christ and the gift of everlasting faith ~ Mary Strong
In deep December when our world is more often cold and dark, than it is bright and hopeful, we turn toward the light. For some its the lower case light found at the mall, at the parties or in search for a repeat of holidays long ago. When life was gentler and joy was easier to come by. When we look more deeply however the December holidays – Hanukkah, Christmas & Kwanzaa – present us with the true light and our holiday celebrations take on a deeper meaning and warming glow.

The moment one gives close attention to anything even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself – Henry Miller
This week I invite you to slow down and be grateful. This month when thanksgiving is a way of life, find the joy within and shout out in gratitude for indeed, God is here, right here, right now, inside each breath, loving YOU. Allow yourself to feel it. There is a blessing within the process if we allow ourselves to see it. It gives us time to pay attention to the blade of grass or tree branches against the sky and thereby move within and find the joys of Spirit.

God said, I am made whole by your life. Each soul, each soul completes me. – Hafiz
Sometimes as we move up the ladder of successful living, it becomes more and more important that we be liked and admired. Our ego finds it advantageous to say and do what pleases others at the sacrifice of our own authenticity. We become people pleasers and lets face it, it does seem to have its rewards. If I agree with you and do what you like, I’ve convinced myself that you will love me and accept me. Then I’m home free or so I think.

“Let us live in the eternal presence of God’s happy smile…folded in the arms of Love forever” – Ernest Holmes
Ernest Holmes also said “the journey back (home) should be fraught with happiness and joyful expectation for we shall be met with a smile from the Universe and shall be folded in the arms of love forever.” I know that I am met in each and every moment with the open arms of God welcoming me home and I know I am home wherever I go. No matter how far I wander off from my center. How separate and apart I feel from the love of God I just turn my thoughts back to my heart, the home of God, my heaven in the midst of chaos and I know I am enfolded in Its loving arms.

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear, LOVE is our true nature. So where does our fears come from you might ask? Perhaps some of our fears are brought on by our own experiences, by what someone has told us, by what you’ve read in the papers. Maybe some fears are valid, like walking alone in a dangerous part of town at two o’clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won’t need to live in fear of it. Do you?
