Joyful

As always this time of the year makes everyone just a little more cheerful and merry. It's always nice to walk in an establishment and most of the staff are smiling and are very helpful. The illuminating lights and the decorations represent the beauty and celebration of the life of the King. This time of the year brings majesty from everyone that is present.

During this time of the year family is really held in reverence. Regardless of bloodline or lifeline, everyone wants to be surrounded by the people they love. Compassion, empathy, understanding and caring are the characteristics of the people we surround ourselves with during this time. We become kindred spirits with people we don't know, while standing in line we discuss Christmas presents, for children, relatives and dear friends. We help a stranger pick out a gift for a niece, and did anyone tell you that you don't even work for the store. There's no commission at the end of the sale, just a smile from the customer and a joyful "Have a Merry Christmas, and thanks for your help" and it's then that you become warm....with knowing you've made two people's day, the gift giver and the receiver.

It's during this time I appreciate my career choice. It's during this time the state of Illinois pays me for the last 4 months of hard work and labor, with an extensive winter break vacation. I've been enlightening young minds and constructing their brains for knowledge....and I get two full weeks off for a job well done! It's during this time I say....Merry Christmas to all and read a good book!

I enjoy this time of the year...because everything is saturated with love, happiness and cheer. I enjoy the tempations of everyone's culinary skills when it comes to baking Rum cakes, sugar cookies, chocolate and pound cakes, and anything with carmel and nuts.

The colors red, green and white...are so beautiful and there are some many combinations and variations of the colors that no matter where and how, they are always so beautiful. It's during this time...I'm glad I can celebrate the birth of Christ..with the world, and relay the message of lhis birth, that this is time to spread unconditional love and cheer.

It's always nice to be nice, and it's even better to give love. Remember that Jesus is the reason for the season, and don't forget to be nice and love everyone after December has changed into the New Year.

For God loved the world that He would give His Son ...so we could have life...
