We all tend to be a little more sentimental during this time of year. The change in weather, the holidays and the impending close of the year all have an impact on our thoughts and actions in some way or another. We hear and say “I Love You” more. We smile a little bit more. We indulge more in the things that make us feel happy. We spend a little bit more money and time on ourselves and the ones we love.
Some of us have a hard time dealing with this atmosphere and wish it would all pass just as quickly as it seem to have come. Yes, on the converse side of things, during this time of year, some of us ponder a bit more. We reflect on the last 12 months, our accomplishments, and our failures. The impact of loss during this time of year seems to be exponentially greater.
And, as we get older, most of us fluctuate between feelings of joy and sorrow during this time—taking the bitter with the sweet because, well… we have no choice.
Here’s a reminder for some and a bit of encouragement for us all to keep in the arsenal during this time.
God knew the good, the bad and the ugly about you before you were even formed in your mother’s womb. The mere fact that you were created and that you are still here… this is your assurance. You are here for a purpose, maybe even several. So, please, don’t give up. Keep pushing each day that you wake up and realize that you are still on this side of life. You were built specifically for this, whatever ‘this’ is and you were born to win.
I pray that each of you would find love, peace, joy and fulfillment in a way that is unique to your particular needs and desires.
Remember, our lives are but a few stitches within the fabric of time. Our individual stitches, when put together, create a pattern in that fabric and a pattern is far more outstanding and recognizable from a distance than a few stitches. With our lives, let us work together to make our communities like the patches of a quilt--places of beauty, warmth and security for those to come after us. Let us come together to create a masterpiece of love, fashioned with beautiful patterns that are as unique collectively as our individual selves. Each stitch enhances that beauty. Each stitch is important. Each stitch is made from a meticulous love. And, best of all, each stitch is necessary to make the body of work complete.
Let your motivation be love in all that you do and say.
Peace,
