Gifts for Christmas

 

Christmas Gift

To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.

************************

I was looking for a gift for one of my family members, and I saw a man berating the woman beside him.  It was either his wife or girlfriend.  I was indignant, and started towards them.  He was very loud.  I heard in my head a message that said "Stop".  

Then, more gently, I heard, "Send her love, for this will give her strength.  Send him compassion, for this will lessen his anger.  Send them both healing, for they have lost a child."

I stopped.  Tears filled my eyes.  I did the things that I heard.  The man dropped his head as he stopped shouting.  His shoulders slumped.  He said, "I am sorry."  

She hugged him.   She knew forgiveness.

How To Accomplish Change

 The poster says:

The three C’s of life:  Choices, Chances, Changes.

You must make a Choice to take a Chance or your life will never Change.

*********************************************

We are in December, the time of year when many folks start looking at their life and wishing it was different.  It may be the unhappiness of family and friends and their dramas.  Or, it may be a dis-satisfaction with the work or career.  Sometimes, it is a general depression that one is not where they thought they would be at this time.  This is a time to look at the three C’s of life.

If life isn’t going the way that you imagined that it would, then life is telling you that you need to change something.  For each of us, that “something” is different.  Yes, it is because we are unique.  Our differences mean that our choices must be different.  

If someone is telling you and one hundred others that you must make a choice to do “something”, then recognize that all one hundred and one of you are being treated the same, and your differences are not being accounted for.

If you keep making the same choices over and over, you are not only in a pattern, you are in a rut!  The only way that you can get out of the rut is to choose to climb out of it.

If you want to make changes, ask the Angels for help.  They will stand with you and help you shift.

Self Care at Christmas

 

Over the last several years, I have published several articles about self care.  Today, as we are nine days away from Christmas, please take to heart the idea of making your life easier, especially in the kitchen.  Look at “Load the Dishwasher Twice” about the idea of making dishwashing easier….. https://www.lightstationwisdom.com/2025/08/run-dishwasher-twice.ht…
