“I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet, The words repeat, Of peace on earth, good-will to men!”

December 1, 2015

We just finished decorating our tree and all the house decorations are up. Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly. I am listening to the Christmas Carols on a seasonal radio station. I have wonderful memories of singing and playing them on the piano as my dad accompanied me on his coronet.  I am joyfilled and happy.  Joy to the World. On my walk today I looked up to the clouds and each one looked like a magnificent Angel. Hark the Herald Angels Sing. I believe the veil is thin during this time of year.  The Angels bend closer and we all become a little kinder.  Thanksgiving sets the tone of giving and we carry this through to Christmas and with intentional thought and purpose, continue it every day after.  It doesn’t matter how many people are in the stores, they are brothers and sisters in the Kingdom of God.  Those who celebrate the holiday are busy trying to discover the right gift for a loved one. We Three Kings of Orient Are. This season only comes once a year so let us enjoy it and Be Merry!  The whole reason is to celebrate the birth of Jesus the Christ. Away in a Manger. He came to renew our minds and bring LOVE into our hearts. He taught us God is within doing the work. Everything Jesus did, we can do also  and even greater things.  What an amazing idea to ponder. We are powerful beyond measure.
The Christ Light is birthed within us as we know and experience this truth.
My favorite carol is “Oh Holy Night.” Verse 3 says, ” Truly he taught us to love one another, His law is love and his gospel is peace.  Chains shall he break for the slave is our brother. …
Let us remember this truth.  We are our brother. We are our sister. I am you and you are me.
Let us help those in need, here in our city, country and in the world. With this consciousness we can bring forth a Silent Night, Holy Night.
