LOVE AT CHRISTMAS

Christmas can have many different meanings to us all. For example, to some people it’s about the birth of Christ, whilst to others it is about presents and partying. Then there are those who go on holidays during the festivities, and those who get together with family.

The greatest gift that we can give anyone, is love. Christmas is a great time to reflect upon the blessings that we have in our lives. There is a saying that’s been kicking around, “There is always someone worse off than you.” It really holds weight at this time of the year.

There are many people from all walks of life who are affected negatively at this time of year. They may be homeless, sick, be on the lower end of the income scale with families. Then there are those with broken relationships, workers who have recently lost their jobs. The hardest one though is if a loved one has died, and it is at yearly celebrations, like that of Christmas when they are missed the most.

Christmas is a time of giving, of receiving, of sharing. It’s about loving unconditionally. All it takes is a random act of kindness towards our fellow human beings and acknowledgement that each one of us is as important as the next person no matter of circumstance, gender, age, race or religion. We just never know if one day we may be in the position of needing a kind heart for support and a caring hand to raise us up when we have fallen.

So, if each of us looked after the little corner in our part of the world and helped one person who may need to be recognized, validated and loved, not only at Christmas but throughout the year, then what a difference it would make.

Reach out the hand of love and in return your soul will sing.

Peace be with you,
