‘Remember, if Christmas isn’t found in your heart, you won’t find it under the tree.’ ~Charlotte Carpenter
Christmas can mean many different things to many people. We all strive for peace, harmony, direction and stability in life. Few achieve this fully in their lifetime but we can certainly go a long way towards it. Christmas is always a great starting point but only a starting point. Too often we expect too much and high expectations always lead to disappointment. No one is going to wave a magic wand and tell us that life or this Christmas is going to be perfect. But it can certainly be a great starting point towards peace, harmony, direction and stability in my life. Tomorrow marks the third Sunday of Advent and is traditionally called ‘Joyful Sunday’. We tend to lean towards negative and sad stories. But what good story in my life is worth celebrating tomorrow and this Christmas?
