CHRISTMAS DAY: This day reminds me of the loving Presence of God coming to everyone in God becoming one of us. No one is free from emotional and physical pain. But on Christmas I realize more and more that God with everyone to bring each person into a place of internal peace and a profound spiritual connection with God. I see it and experience it every moment of the day when I allow myself to embrace this present moment with acceptance, love and compassion. What a blessing to realize that God is with me in joy and in sorrow. Each moment of life is a cross and a resurrection. I do not need to change others, but I do need to love others. GOD HAVE MERCY, FOR IN YOU MY SOUL HAS TAKEN REFUGE. Each day brings me closer to God no matter what happens to me.
