As we approach Christmas Day, I can't help but think of all the folks stressing about all the things they couldn't buy or didn't get. I admit that I, too, have a lot left to do but I am really trying not to stress about it. If we don't get everything wrapped, that is one less thing for someone else to have to fool with. Right?
So many people get frustrated and ruin their own holiday because they couldn't buy everything on everyone's Christmas list. Others get really frustrated and hurt because they didn't get everything on theirs. I have no Christmas list. If you asked me what I really wanted, I would tell you that I want PEACE. Not just world peace. Not just familial peace. But, I would like for everyone to find that inner peace that so many seem to be short on.
One of my favorite Christmas movies is the adaptation of Dr. Seuss's "How the Grinch stole Christmas". Not the Jim Carrey version, good in its own right, but the animated version. So, today's word is a Christmas "quote" from Dr. Seuss, which says, "Maybe Christmas, the Grinch thought, doesn't come from a store." To which I add, "It isn't about stuff - it's about LOVE."
The feeling I have this Christmas has nothing to do with anything you can buy. As a matter of fact, if you asked me what you could buy me, I would tell you that I don't need a thing. I honestly do not need anything. You cannot buy the Christmas spirit. You cannot buy the Christmas joy. You cannot buy the Christmas love. GOD sent it when He gave us His Son. If everyone would concentrate on the Son, we would all have a bright Christmas.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
