The Holiday Challenge

The holiday season is based in Love, Joy, and Peace.  We celebrate the power of giving, which is the essence of Love.  We recognize and appreciate the Blessings that are bestowed upon us every day which bring us Joy.  But obtaining Peace can be more elusive because of the challenges we sometimes face.  Those challenges become more manageable we remain ever Faithful.

The holiday season provides us the perfect opportunity to practice our Spiritual Faith.  Despite the challenges we face, or have faced during the year, when we choose to engage with others, we leave the challenges to our Faith.  When we share food, toys, or clothing, our focus shifts to others, and not ourselves.  Faith allows us to unselfishly share time and compassion with those who need it, because we Believe the Spirit to take care of our own needs.  Sometimes a kind word, or a smile, or just taking the time to listen, can be the most meaningful gift, and Faith allows us to do that.  The more you put your Faith into practice, the more you approach Peace.  This Holiday Season, take the challenge and rely on your Faith to bring you Peace.
