Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

This is Christmas!
 
Every time we show respect for the earth and her people, this is Christmas!
 
Every time we reach out to check on a neighbor, this is Christmas!
 
Every time we simply listen to another’s troubles, this is Christmas!
 
Every time we delight in good, this is Christmas!
 
Every time we gather together to celebrate, this is Christmas!
 
Every time we give of ourselves to help another, this is Christmas!
 
Every time we decide to put aside our differences, this is Christmas!
 
Every time we forgive another for past wrongs, this is Christmas!
 
Every time we give thanks for all that we have been given, this is Christmas!
 
Every time we rise above fear and step forward in faith, this is Christmas!
 
Every time we are filled with hope for the future, this is Christmas!
 
Merry Christmas from our family to yours. And, may the Spirit of Christmas dwell in your hearts and minds this holiday season and throughout the coming year!
