IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
In the spirit of the Christmas Spirit I want to share with you this Christmas prayer from Gloria Zappola: "A Christmas prayer":
We are given this life so we may earn the next; a chance to grow in the spirit.
Extremists are dangerous because they believe all others are not as they, but of a lesser ilk. Bias bigotry, closed-mindedness and prejudice are equally dangerous.
Each soul stands equal to all others and each deserves respect. No view of life and life's purpose can be superior to any other. No absolutes exist, no certainties no universal right or wrong, merely different points of view. Lest we forget, all shadows are black.
For those who despair that their lives are without meaning and without purpose; for those who dwell in a loneliness so terrible that it has withered their hearts; for those who hate because they have no recognition of the destiny they share with all humanity; for those who would squander their lives in self-pity or self-destruction because they have lost the saving wisdom with which they were born; for all these and many more, hope waits where the sacred nature of life may be clearly experienced without the all-but-blinding filter of human need, desire, greed, envy and endless fear.
The answer is complex and easy answers are what usually leads whole worlds into ruin.
Leave your heart open and you will find behind that door people who, like you will find the right door together with them.
None of us can ever save ourselves, for we are the instruments of each other's salvation, and only by the hope that we give the other and the wish to save this beautiful Earth and all upon it can we lift ourselves out of the darkness into the everlasting light that shines for all.
"Peace on Earth, good will toward men."
Spread Peace & Love.
