The atmosphere of Heaven
Christmas is My love come down to Earth. Let it possess you and fill you and take you to Heaven.
A heart full of love and thankfulness is a heart full of Christmas daily.
And as you pause to thank me, you'll realize that frankly,
Christmas is a time of praise
that can brighten ALL your days.
Praise me for the things in your life that have happened in this past year.
Praise me for the blessings that brought a smile to your face or laughter to your lips because they lifted your spirit.
Praise Me for the trials that brought tears to your eyes and pain to your heart because they caused you to search your heart and seek out something higher to make you rise above.
Praise Me for the tests and challenges, because they strengthened your character and fortified your resolve to contunue fighting.
Praise me for the love that you received from your loved ones, from those I brought across your path when your cup was empty.
Praise me for the opportunities to reach out and and give to others because these actions are changing the world one heart at a time.
Praise Me for the children, yours or those of others, because of the purity and simplicity they bring into the world.
Praise Me for My creation, for the beauty that I have placed around you-both in nature and in the hearts of those around you-because it refreshes your spirit and renews your physical being.
Praise Me for My light and truth, because it shines brightly in an ever increasingly dark and desperate world.
Praise Me for everything.Praise is the atmosphere of Heaven
Jesus

Sadly in a modern world of capitalism where instant gratification rules, it is difficult to hewn a mentality of invested goodness. Christmas is a good time, not just for christians but for all who find meaning in their own form of spirituality. Perhaps people do treat each other better, but it is difficult to tell here. While I am not christain or really a catholic I do wear a cross because 1) it is a memento of god parents and 2)because i do find meaning in it. What is life but surmounting hardships and trying to shape a decent understanding of it? Man...i could go on for hours....but i won't.
