To me, Christmas is Jesus' birthday.
So... what gift can I give Him?
I like this Advent of Kindness.
And there are many similar invitations to civility, real aid and respect.
I know Christmas means different things to different people...
How can I be respectful of them, and how can I celebrate in my own meaningful way?
I can be kind to all I come in contact with - as my gift to Jesus Christ on the celebration of His birth.
And I can co-exist with others around me. I can be interested in their celebrations. I am interested. I have learnt from experience that I can learn much that is useful to me from everyone I come in contact with.
What might I be forgetting?
The time might come when I need to decide to separate from some others who might be intent on choosing ways I do not want to be a part of. Or they might choose to separate from me and mine.
There's always choosing - every day...
Until then, I can retain my own integrity and allow others to be who they choose to be.
What are you realising and understanding this Christmas?
What might you be forgetting?
