Dear Friends,

Twas the Night Before Christmas and All Through the House not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse…

Metaphysically we know the night before Christmas is a sacred time, a holy moment as we celebrate the NEW being who came into LIFE centuries ago, the Christ Child named Jesus. This evening is also a sacred and quiet preparation for the birth of our own Christ Consciousness, our own way of being LOVE in this physical world of experiences and effects.

One of my favorite Christmas Carols is “Oh Holy Night.”                                                  Verse three 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
And in His name, all oppression shall cease…”

It doesn’t get simpler than that. We have a choice. Every situation can be met with LOVE or not. Rev. Dr. Missy Higginbotham told a story in the book Works of Heart, about her experience with an angry costumer, who was berating a female cashier. She heard his outrage and told him “That’s not nice.” He immediately lashed out on Missy and called her names. In the book Missy said, “People who are in pain, angry, scared and feeling out of control of their lives will often deliberately strike out with words intended to hurt others. We can play their game of victim/victimizer, speak up or not.” Rev. Missy said she kept blessing him and said “Thank you so much.” He then left the store.

Loving the unlovable is truly a Christ Consciousness gift. Rev. Missy said, “What we damn, damns us back, what we bless, blesses us in return. Our energy fields will pass that information on to the energy fields of all those present.“ Isn’t that what we really want to surround us, the energy of PEACE, LOVE, KINDNESS, MERCY and UNDERSTANDING. Jesus the Christ was born with this Consciousness and taught it throughout his life and beyond.

During this time before Christmas let us give the gift of LOVE, PEACE and BLESSINGS to others in all situations and also to ourselves. This is the Night Before the sacred Christ-Mass Consciousness Circles the World.

Peace and Love, Abigail and Steve
