What better time of year than Christmas time, to remind people that life should be about loving one another ....
And what better way to start than with this song by Rick Astley who sings it better than I can say it.... Please listen to his words:
Our world seems to have become overtaken with hate. We hate people for the color of their skin, for their gender, for their differences in opinions or beliefs. But hatred will never solve anything, it only makes things worse, not just for others, but for the ones who keep hatred alive..
.Why though, is it so easy to hate? Loving people can/should be just as easy. It doesn't cost anything. And it is beneficial to both those giving love as well as those receiving love...
.It can start as simply as saying a kind word, thinking before we speak, thinking of others instead of just ourselves. A little kindness, love can go a long way. As bad as you think your life is, someone else's might be even worse. Why add to that? Is it really that hard to be nice to others
So, this Christmas and moving forward, please look into your heart and see if you can't find a little empathy, a little compassion, a little love for your fellow mankind...
And for anyone going through their first Christmas without a loved one, I would like to share something my grandma gave me that got me through that first Christmas without my husband:
Christmas in Heaven
Tis Christmas in Heaven
What a beautiful sight
It's my first one here
Everything is all right
The crib is adorned
With the brilliance of stars
Wisemen have come
From Venus and Mars
I've met all our dear ones
Who preceded us here
The reunion was lovely
An event full of cheer
And tonight we'll all gather
In reverence we'll kneel
For the Babe in the cradle
Up in Heaven is REAL
I think of my family
That I left behind
And I pray that your Christmas
Is as blessed as mine
Please shed no more tear
For my soul is at rest
Just love one another
Live life to it's best
Yes, it's Christmas in Heaven
So I've heard them say
Yet Christmas in Heaven
Happens every day...
Thank you for reading. And I hope you have a holiday season filled with love, peace and joy.....
