MIDWEEK MESSAGE – December 22, 2021

Joy is in the air! Can you feel it or have you too much to do and too little time?

Don’t miss the joy of the season. Stop and take the time to appreciate this time of year.

Visit some homes with amazing displays of lights, moving Santas, snowmen, and reindeers, go to a mall with a Santa to watch the faces of the children as they whisper their Christmas wishes into his ear.

Can’t do any of that? Watch a Christmas movie – “It’s A Wonderful Life” or “Miracle on 34th Street” are just two of my favorites, but there are many other good ones.

Spend time alone meditating on what this holiday means. See if you cannot feel a spark of the Divine that was within Jesus also within you.

Whatever you decide, find the joy within. Things in your life not as you would like? External things may affect how happy you feel but joy is a gift from God and no matter what the outside conditions may be, joy can always be felt when we take the time to connect with the Source of Joy.

This year make the decision that whatever may be going on, you are not going to let anything take the joy out of your heart.

May you have hope, peace, love, and joy this Christmas.

Joyfully,
Arlene
