Rewatching the "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," I noted that for most of the movie the Grinch plotted and worked to steal all of the Christmas presents, decorations to make Whoville sad. Seems an appropriate type for 2020, as many only focus on how bad the year was. But like the movie, the best came in the end, that its not the stuff that defines Christmas or even a Year. It's family, memories, a gift of love and life by our Creator which makes Christmas the special event for all, that gives a year meaning. Many don't realize that in spite of the storm small businesses are still being opened, are growing and being dreamt about. Rather than boohooing what behind, let us embrace this week and celebrate, show "Cindy Lou Who" resolve that nothing or anything can steal our joy, our purpose. Together or virtually let us enjoy the blessings of the now, send a note, a card- send an email, call friends, business connections and family- say thanks, offer love and in some cases forgiveness, a chance for new beginnings. Watch as this becomes sugar to sweeten and warm hearts anew and redefine a year.
Praying that you have a Merry Christmas, full of blessings, that the season be filled with warm memories, security and happiness.
