Wishing you and your family a day of peace, hope and joy. Today reminds us that Christmas should last the entire year, yes?
Whatever our spiritual beliefs, may each of us find long-lasting meaning in our life. May we be reminded of that which is important and that which isn’t.
A banker reminds us to be tolerant of our youth:
A little boy received a new drum for Christmas. Shortly thereafter, his father came home from work and the mother told him, “I don’t think the man upstairs likes to hear Georgie play his new drum, but he’s certainly subtle about it.” “How do you know”? asked the father. “Well, this afternoon he gave Georgie a knife and asked him if he knew what was inside the drum.”
Herbert Prochnow
The gospel reminds us to recognize our blessings:
You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are – no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.
Matthew 5
A novelist reminds us to be thankful for our “fortunes”:
Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
Charles Dickens
My present blessings from God reminds me to say to you and yours from me and mine:
“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
