It’s Christmas Day and one where not everyone will be celebrating. Of course, some of those are people who don’t live in places in this world where it’s a custom, and others are simply just part of religions that don’t take part in it. But then there’s many others who otherwise would, but due to unfortunate life factors they won’t be this year.
Maybe that’s because they don’t have any family or loved ones.
Maybe that’s because they’re homeless.
Maybe that’s because they’re so addicted to something like alcohol, gambling, sex, or drugs.
Maybe it’s because they’re sick and ailing.
Or maybe it’s because of some else altogether.
Regardless, it’s my hope that each of us will remember those people today and at least send a blessing out to all those who are less fortunate.
It’s something that’s quite easy to forget, especially when opening presents or over indulging in food that some never get of either today.
So as I wish and bless each of you a Merry Christmas, I also leave you with a special prayer that goes out to all those who may not be feeling so fortunate today…
Dear God, I know that there are those out there who won’t be celebrating this Christmas, who otherwise normally would be. For whatever their reason God, I ask that you bless each of them, and at least let them all know You love them unconditionally. For its on special days like today where I often believe there are many out there who need a reminder of that. And may I also be a vessel to carry that out for You today, an extension of Your unconditional love, for at least one person that truly needs to know they are unconditionally loved. Amen.
Peace, love, light, and joy,
Andrew Arthur Dawson
