Christmas can be a lonely time for some. Praying that each of us can find solace that no matter our place in life, God wastes nothing.

What does this mean?

To me, it means that everyone has the greatest, free, and unlimited resource available at their beck and call.

May we never become bitter about circumstances that are “bitter-worthy”.

Christmas grinch, stealing the Christmas spirit with UPS?

One item (a MacBook) was promised to be delivered in one day. Several others were promised in two days.

Carved out time to go to Apple Store to purchase MackBook. Get home and UPS delivers the original one. Carved out more time to drive it to Fed Ex to send it back – we don’t need two.

Items to arrive two days ago will be arriving (theoretically) today, after we depart for an eight day vacation.

Packages on the front porch for eight days?

Maybe.

So easy to be frustrated. But instead, so joyful. This Christmas is a Christmas of abundance.

An abundance of gratitude, peace, forgiveness, and joy.

He went 3-2 two days ago.

 

Just three days from Christmas this morning. How long does the Christmas spirit last? How long should it last? Does it matter? Why or why not?

Merry Christmas 2014 from Mid Life Celebration

Jesus is not the reason for the season for everyone.

A big part of Love is in accepting others, being kind, giving generosity, remaining hopeful, and being a great example.

Whatever you believe in and however you celebrate it, may it be as good this year as it’s ever been.

From Mid Life Celebration’s Family to yours, Merry Christmas.

Two days before Christmas. Haven’t bought a single gift.

But have thought about a million gifts that can’t be wrapped.

All tucked, invisibly, under the tree.

Who needs more things?
