Lessons From Christmas Day

Christ in me is the hope of glory.

On this Christmas morning, what can I offer the reborn Spirit of Christ within me?  I can offer eyes that look for the goodness of God in all people. I can offer hands ready to serve in small and large ways.  I can offer feet that will walk in the path of peace and light.

This year I will practice to pray from anyone or anything that irritates me.  I will not let my ego turn me into hard core anger.  I will remember we are all on our own journey and any hot button that gets tripped give me the opportunity to heal.  I give to whom God puts in front of me and it always helps me grow in faith.

On this Christmas morning, I offer the Christ Spirit within me a mind willing to believe in eternal possibilities.  I offer a voice that sings of faith, joy, love and oneness. I offer my cooperation in establishing the kingdom of heaven here on earth.

I believe if all mankind could practice unconditional love there would be no wars, hatred or sickness in our lives.  This year I will work hard to do my part. 

Celebrating today the birth of Jesus, I find in my heart a new willingness to believe that I can do my part in making Christmas not just one day in the year, but a way of living life.

God sent us an example, Jesus and we crucified him.  That just shows how far from unconditional love that we are. If only I can be an example all year long I will have achieved more than I have in a lifetime.

Know the love of Christ...so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.  Ephesians 3:19
