How
I See Christmas
My
childhood eyes saw Christmas as a shiny red bicycle. Oh my, that was a special bike.
A
few years later, my eyes saw Christmas as a much-wanted new sweater. I wore that sweater everywhere that
winter.
Some
years later, I saw Christmas as a book I longed to read, a new pair of slacks,
new shoes.
Last
year, I saw Christmas as a new commission on life. I survived heart bypass one week before
Christmas day, and I was most thankful for just being here.
How
do you see Christmas?
Is
it just another season to get through, or is it a sad time because of missing
someone who is now gone? Is it a time
for finding joy, listening for the rustle of wrapping paper and the surprises
awaiting to be found?
Is
it the extra food, the extra pies, cakes, candies?
Is
it the music tailored for the season?
I
hope you see Christmas in ways that are new and fresh for your heart and
mind. I hope you see joy, experience
joy, and hear the “love” expressions.
I
hope you find deep satisfaction this year.
Even if it is for the fact that you survived one more year.
Look
for Christmas in all the right places.
See Christmas in all the right places.
This is
my
morning
reflection.
