Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! As we race into this Christmas and Holiday Season, Let’s take a minute, breathe deep, relax, and make this holiday season one filled with peace and hope. I asked my grandson what his hope is over this Christmas Holiday. His hope is that he gets the most awesome drone in the world. I told him that his hope was great but that over the Christmas Holidays we should consider hoping for things in honor of the Baby Jesus. He was puzzled, and then said, “I hope my best friend gets the most awesome drone in the world and that he invites me over every day to play with it.” Clever, but not quite the point.
As we race through this Christmas and Holiday Season, are we not quite getting the point? We are reminded that this Holiday Season is a season of “Hope”, that no matter where we find ourselves or what ever may be happening to us, God is with us and guides us. “Hope” that no matter where our neighbors find themselves or what ever may be happening to them, you are blessed with the hands to help. “Hope” that wherever desperate families are being separated, or where wars are being waged, or where our world is filled with fear, hate and anger, a calm and gentle voice may be heard, inviting hope, joy, trust and love. “Hope” that this voice will surround us in all we do and in all that we are and in all that we strive to be, this Christmas Season. There’s the point.
Happy Holidays!!!!!
