“A Different way of looking at it”
(Note: I am using he and she. Depending on your sex, you may have to switch them for the sake of being able to relate to this story.)
Imagine this scene. You and your spouse are out in the water in the ocean. You are enjoying yourself just standing there and she is nearby splashing around too. You are up to your shoulders, but comfortable and standing easily.
Then, for no apparent reason, she starts clawing at your arm, giving you scratches, swinging her arms around, hitting you in the head. She even pushed your head under the water on a couple of occasions, all the while shouting at you. Shouting, you’re not quite sure what.
Maybe you felt a spark of the Christmas spirit this past week. For many people, this year may have been a little dimmer than usual. If so, I want to encourage you to fan the flames to keep it going throughout 2021. I firmly believe that we are meant to keep the Christmas spirit 365 days of the year. Yes, you can!
I think a more common word for Christmas spirit is love. Not a romantic love, but just a love of all that is around us. “All” means even that family member who is more than a little hard on the nerves. You didn’t miss that part of the annual Christmas celebrations, did you?
Love is an energy that can either come and go hardly noticed, or can be tapped into and expanded. Much like other energy sources in the universe, like sunshine, wind, or a river, we don’t usually take much notice of it, but if harnessed, can provide electricity to power a whole town.
Like trying to start a campfire, it takes work and perseverance, since it usually takes a few attempts to really get it going. I always bring a Frisbee with me in my camping gear. It’s a fun activity to play with friends, takes up very little space in my pack and is excellent for fanning the fire when I’m starting it.
Ever have somebody tell you, “I was just thinking of you!” when you called them? Well what just happened there?
Maybe you have enough faith to believe in coincidences, but I don’t. Nothing in the physical world can explain it. It certainly seems as though a spiritual connection of some sort was prompting each of you. Ultimately, who cares how you explain it? Isn’t it a wonderful feeling when that happens?
And it only takes one of you to respond to that prompting to make that communication complete. So what are you going to do about it?…
