But know this, I say "Season Greetings" to all of my readers...
As I write this article one week before Christmas day, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my Guardians readers a very Merry Christmas. I hope you have a good time with your family and friends from a distance, joyously living in this moment in time. This is the time to show how we feel about each other in our hearts silently and publicly as well. Let us enjoy each other’s company knowing that a new dawn/horizon is coming soon. Should I say a new day or a new year? Either way, both are fast approaching like lightning or a large flash in the sky of our lives!
A good memory from my childhood is hearing this song by Monica, “My Grown-Up Christmas List.” Each time I hear it, even up the present day, it always makes me believe there is still hope in this world. I cannot tell you in words how this song has affected my childhood because it made me believe there was some faith to begin again in a world that can become less selfish, even unselfish in life...
I am going to quote some of the words I think all of us need to meditate on:
No more lives torn apart
That wars will never start
And time will heal our hearts
Every man will have a friend
That right will always win
And love will never end
This is my grown up Christmas List
May kindness rules our lives
Not just the strong survive
Sweet tears for all the thousand years on mind
This is the world I pray
We will all share some way
Help me begin by reaching out my hand.
We should always strive to be the best because if you don't, you will never reach for your true potential, and that's why purpose is important if we want or desire a better world. Not just outside, but inside as well. That's what truly matters if we have to find any worth or substance in our lives. This, in my humble opinion, is what this song strives to achieve, all of us having a desire for a better world. That's why I love it so much and I strive to emulate it through my articles. That's why I write and became a Motivational Speaker, all to encourage positive changes in our lives...
Give love on Christmas day is a must for us and all children, families and friends alike... If much is not given up, nothing can be done appropriately in these days! Because we have to become our brother's keeper and try to be of any assistance for all of us to enjoy the season together. Because we all experience at some point ups and downs in our lives... What or how can we as individuals be of any assistance to someone else who is in dire need? This is the first place to start to help someone out, who may need that support. This is the time for opportunities to do just that! What we need to understand, during these times is that love is free so why not give it or give it a chance? Let’s become what we are made with, that God given factor within all our own hearts and that is: LOVE OR TRUE LOVE. Do we have it and can we safely say that is in within our hearts as we speak?
I must say Merry Christmas to one and all, let us celebrate with some form of passion. Love for each other knowing The Giver of Life is God through his only Son, Christ. Always remember that is the reason why we celebrate this day. Let us all show appreciation for what You have done for us. Christ is the reason for this season too... Thank you for reasoning and tracking with me again, it is love we should have all throughout the New Year as well…
