Merry Christmas plus up prayer power
I’m an eclectic type of person, and honor many spiritual traditions. Although I did not take a deep moment focusing on the nativity story this year, I did a lot to share season spirit: welcoming many people to share joy, compassion, and love. I loved the secrets revealed from one friend who had her tree up and many years of collected ornaments which had even more stories. For weeks I have enjoyed the show of lights all over town. I love the freedom to be Christian without fear. I also honor all the religions celebrated throughout Santa Fe. Everyone has the right and joy to celebrate their religion without fear or judgement. Erase hate and promote love.
I got an email from a publisher who embodies generousity. Many are familiar with these words, but I felt they are definitely worth reading again. Merry Christmas! Carry your joy and abundance in your heart all year long!
In the words of Reinhold Niebuhr:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.
If I can’t change it, then I don’t worry about it.
I (nor you) have no control over the economy. Nor the
weather. What machinations are at work in the world.
Or anything at all like that.
It is out of our hands.
We just have to accept what happens and work
from there. It’s sometimes difficult, but Haanel
provided us the tools and the means to work through
any problem that we may face.
So rest easy with that.
Instead, focus on the things that you CAN change.
The things on which you can have an influence.
In this time when all the media is blaring about
doom and gloom, go out make this the best Christmas
or Chanukah that you can.
You may not be able to control the economy, but you
can certainly put a smile on a child’s face.
You can make someone feel welcomed.
You can throw caution to the wind and make someone’s
dream come true.
You can actually control a lot.
And even though you can’t control the “big” things,
you’ll find that the things that you can control
are the IMPORTANT things.
I wish you and yours a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I wish you a HAPPY CHANUKAH.
I wish you a blessed and loving Holiday.
I wish you all the BEST!
Have fun… Tony M.
