As I continue to decorate my space, I turn up my Christmas music, for all to hear. I open the windows, and breathe in fresh air. Although I only put up a 3″ tree this year, I am still in an upbeat, and positive mood.
I am Hopeful, Peaceful, and Joyful, and my heart is filled with LOVE.
Leading up to Thanksgiving, the Christmas holiday season, was looking bleak. After reflecting on all of the positive things in my life, I began to find reasons to be excited about the holiday, rather than succumb to depression and anxiety. I am looking forward to, and am HOPEFUL, about Christmas. Yesterday, was Day 1, of preparing my heart and mind for the coming of Jesus (Christmas season 2024). I began by decorating my space. As I look at the lights on the tree, I am HOPEFUL, about what is to come.
Today, Day 2, I am reveling in the beauty of the Christmas lights, in addition to, listening to the beautiful sound of Christmas music. I share the tunes, loud enough, for my neighbors to hear; HOPEFUL that my excitement, will inspire others, and turn their sadness and hopelessness, into hopeFULLNESS, and joy.
As Tomorrow is the first Sunday of Advent (the four weeks leading to Christmas), I look forward to the beauty of this Christmas season. Tomorrow, I encourage everyone, to attend service, for the First Sunday of Advent. I believe that, as we focus on all that is to come, we can find Hope, as we prepare for the birth of our Savior. As we worship, and focus, on the true meaning of this holiday, I have faith, that many more of us will open our hearts to all that the Christmas season brings; together, we can heal, and celebrate, the beauty of this season.
Finally, as I continue to progress each day, I am looking forward to all of the new connections that will be made, and the love that can be shared; as we all cast aside our fears, and lean on our faith, in this Advent Season. I’d love to hear about how everyone is attempting to joyfully, prepare, for what is to come.
GOD LOVES YOU AND SO DO I!
