Good morning, God, and thank you for this new day in my life. It's a beautiful day so far, one that promises to be peaceful and relaxing. It's a nice kind of day to look forward to during this season of peace and hope and love, and this season of introspection and reverence.
Because it is Christmas, I like to think Christmas thoughts--I like to think about people caring for one another, people sharing what they have, people thinking about others and what they may want as gifts. I like to think about what life would be like if we had the same thoughts about others the entire year long, and if we were to think more about the people in our lives than we think about ourselves. What would the world be like if we considered the well-being of our fellow human beings before we thought about our own?
I know it's kind of a pipe dream, but it is a fascinating concept, isn't it? I know that the chances of such a thing happening in my lifetime--if it ever does happen with humans--is slim to none. But I also often wonder what I could do to help bring about such a state of affairs--if I can do anything at all. It would be nice to contribute to the positive side of the world, but can I do so? And if so, how?
This is only a short note, as I'm not really in the writing mood at the moment, but I do want to say thank you for this beautiful season, and thanks for all that I have--and thank you for a glimpse of how things could be if we were to keep Christmas in our hearts all year long, focusing on others and their needs rather than on ourselves and our own needs. I do appreciate this holiday season, and I love it very much.
