Holiday Poem ~ Tiny Blessings You Find
From my book “Finding Me”, written for the holidays, after a close friend confided in me about the recent diagnosis of her son’s terminal illness… My heart ached for her and her family, after taking a moment to reflect on my own, illness….I was able to see, much more clearly the abundance of blessings that surrounded me daily!. In writing this for her, hoping to offer some comfort, it brought me comfort as well.
In dedication to to those that have struggled - I share this with you today. May this holiday bring comfort to you, as we all embrace the true blessing that are within us and surround us each and everyday!!
Today remember the true meaning of this holiday... its NOT the gift that come wrapped up in paper sitting under the tree - NOT money and materialist things.... Give a handful of hope to someone that is NOT as fortunate as you, someone that's is spending the holiday ALONE or in line waiting for a meal, that's worried and wonders where they may sleep.... Friends when someone ask you what you want or need for Christmas and you say NOTHING, feel extra blessed and then offer those blessings to someone else!! Happy Holiday's
