Christmas
Christmas is less than a week away! But many of the festivities & fun with family & friends has already begun.
.
With all the gifts bought, wrapped and ready it’s easy to say that Christmas is about giving and not receiving. But we miss a HUGE part of the beauty of Christmas when we do.
.
Christmas is in many ways COMPLETELY about getting. It’s about getting more than we deserve. I think that’s why it’s so easy to love it so much! .
We all know deep down at least a little that we should be on the naughty list. Some of us more than others 🙂
.
Christmas can remind us of 3 really important things:
•We can be forgiven
•We can be loved
•We can be given so much more than we deserve
.
The friends and family members who are giving to you? They’ve probably seen you at your WORST at some point this year. And they STILL look past that, love you, and are excited to give to you.
.
How great is that?
.
The more we realize the beauty behind gift giving, the more we can enjoy the gift. Not because of the gift: but because of the giver! It’s one more way they show that they accept you as you are.
.
Do you want to give people joy this Christmas? Then simply give! Give the gift of love and forgiveness, acceptance and appreciation.
.
It doesn’t have to be a gift under the tree either.
.
Your love, your attention, your empathy, your kindness, your help, your caring, and any number of other things are EXACTLY the kinds of gifts that you can give to the people you love.
.
And the best way to do it is to BE PRESENT. To be here.
.
The only you that you can give is the one you’ve got right now.
.
It’s impossible to give forgiveness when you’re stuck on the past. It’s impossible to give graciously when you’re busy tallying good and bad deeds (Like ol’ Santa! 🎅🏼) instead of giving freely.
.
So let things go and don’t hold back. GIVE! And make sure to give them the greatest gift you’ve got: yourself, right now.
.
Have a WONDERFUL week celebrating with your loved ones!
