The Christmas Star
My calling is to reach out to others, and encourage them to embrace their greatest strengths. The first step stone on our path is HOPE.
Hope is the foundational step for our journey, for it leads to all the deeper emotions that bring forth fulfillment, and lifts you up over times of despair. When you hope for love in your life, you will meet someone you care about. When you hope for success, you will round every corner with enthusiasm for new experiences. When you dream of hope filling every moment of every day, you will feel joy.
Often feelings of the past year surface now and cause internal conflict between sadness and joy. You may find yourself pushing away someone you care about, or feeling short fused and overwhelmed. Center yourself with Hope.
Life passes quickly, and we sometimes don’t get a second chance with someone significant in our lives. Stop for a moment and think of whom you value in your life and nurture everything about that relationship. Fear can often tear apart a valuable relationship. Fear of rejection, fear of abandonment, fear of being hurt. A supporter, someone who communicates care and concern, is a treasure. A star in the darkness, a breath of hope.
Hope leads to faith, trust, and love.
Last year I wrote a poem about Hope, “The Christmas Star” and received many comments from readers who felt moved…So I am sharing again my poem with you:
“The Christmas Star”
In the grips of despair, there is always Hope.
During trying times with a significant person in your life, there is always Hope.
While feeling low and insignificant, there is always Hope.
When sleepless nights torment you with tomorrow’s stresses, there is always Hope.
As your problems surround and paralyze you, there is always Hope.
Hope finds you when loneliness seeps in.
Hope reaches to you when sadness overcomes you.
Hope surrounds you and repels Fear.
Hope blasts away guilt and shame…
Leaving you…
You.
The true you.
Connected with God.
Connected with others.
Able to receive as well as give.
Hope.
The symbol of the spirit of Christmas.
Give and you will find Hope.
Pray and you will find Hope.
Surround yourself with others who believe and support you, and you will find Hope.
Seek Hope.
*******************************************************************
My symbol for Hope is a star. The North Star symbolized the birth of our savior. Centuries later we still celebrate His birthday as the most joyous time of year. God aligned the stars the night that Christ was born. Look at the stars tonight and know the stars shine just for you.
Merry Christmas,
