A Simple Holiday Wish for You
The world seems to speed up during the holidays
With more gatherings, shopping, and expectations
The true meaning of the season often gets lost…
With gifts, decorations, and planned occasions
The essence of the holidays is your presence
And remembering what matters most…
Connection, love, and kindness
It’s an invitation to reunite with each other
To something deeper than our daily routines
For some, the holidays are joyful and fun filled
Others experience sadness with empty seats at the table
We’re reminded that empathy matters to everyone
And compassion is the remedy for a broken heart
Affection given freely restores the spirit
Wherever you are in the next couple of weeks…
Celebrating, grieving, resting, or just surviving,
Know this…
You’re worthy of peace and serenity
And you don’t need to pretend to belong
The greatest gift is slowing down…
To embrace the important people in your life
God’s grace and beauty are everywhere
May this season offer warmth, reflection, and hope
And I pray the coming year is prosperous for you.
