This time of year is when we all hope to find families safe as they travel many distances to get together and to enjoy one of the most significant events in the world of Christianity. It is also an eventful season for other religions as well.
However, there are those that may not have a family to go to, or even enjoy a Holiday meal together with anyone. I know the feeling for I have spent many Christmases without my children, as they travel to be together with their mom at her house, or on a cruise in the Caribbean.
It is still left for me to find joy in my life, and I do that by exercising myself to total fatigue. Mountain biking and jogging are my passion, but when I add prayer time, I find peace in my life. I didn't plan to be alone ever, but life takes many turns, and we make the most of it.
I have just recently submitted two articles for publication, one on miracles and the other on finding the joy of living. As I wrote them, I always try to aim toward the reader who needs some form of guideline and direction in their lives. The one on miracles is already out to the world.
People find me by researching on a subject, e.g. holy water. And they will either ask me for the water or for me to pray for them. That's their gift to me, to allow me to pray for them, or to send a small vial of holy water to them.
I enjoy incredibly good health, for my age anyway, but I invest in it by exercising daily, eating properly. And I don't forget to thank God for His blessings. Would it help you for me to say that GRATITUDE is the key element here?
I wish people would understand more that all of our blessings are a direct result of God's bountiful generosity. That being our source, then perhaps during this beautiful season you will find it in your heart to give to the poor who you see out on the streets.
Many happy wishes for a Wonderful Holiday Season! And should you be going through a tough moment at this time, let me pray for you by contacting me through my email address. I only ask for the reason, and that you keep me posted on the progress.
