Christmas and family

December 24, 2013

And so it is Christmas, that time of year when gatherings of friends and family provide opportunities to offer love, forgiveness, compassion and light.  My heart is happy; my daughter has flown across the country for her 2 week vacation from college.  Christmas Day she will travel with her father to visit his relatives; her grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins who live about 400 km away.  Once more I recall the pain of the separation of our small family 16 years ago. Those first few Christmases after the separation were difficult for us all.  We alternated; one year with his family; one year with mine.

The first Christmas without her I spent at home alone; then my soul spoke to me of all of the people who are suffering and brought to mind the lines from the Prayer of St. Francis:

O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled as to console;

To be understood as to understand;

To be loved as to love.

Here is one of my favourite sung versions by James Twyman

Prayer of St. Francis

Two years later, I spent Christmas Day as a volunteer handing out winter clothes and serving a meal to homeless people.  And so began my journey toward unconditional service.  I am so grateful to the Divine, my Heaven's team, my earthly family and other teachers, and to Master Sha and his Worldwide Representatives and the students I have been studying with since 2007 that have supported my soul healing miracle journey for healing family relationships and more!

And what is different this year?  Christmas Eve the three of us will spend together with a shared meal and gift exchange then I will see them off Christmas Day with the peace that comes from forgiveness of the mistakes we have each made that led to the separation of our small family 16 years ago.

How about you?  Are you ready to experience the peace and joy that comes from forgiveness? Are you ready to let love melt all blockages and transform all of your life?

Love,
