From the Oprah newsletter … "Christmas can't be found on a tree or in a package. It comes with the rich connections we make with those around us and with the nurturing we extend to ourselves and others … those are the gifts that count.”
My sister sent this to me, as she shared that in her recent move into a new place, all of her Christmas decorations ended up at the back of a storage unit. Which means that for the first time in her life, she will not have a tree or decorations. But instead she said “I will however be celebrating the REAL meaning of Christmas, the Promise that came with HIS birth. Awesome!!!”
Today I pray for all of us who may not have much in the way of decorations up, but who have Christ in our hearts. It is our connection to Him that helps us nurture others. It is our connection to Him that helps us nurture ourselves, too. I am proud of my sister for her attitude, her perseverance and her belief. Because it is that belief in Him … and in Christmas … that makes this season so joyously powerful.
