Be
Present
In life we
are given many opportunities to be in the midst of various experiences. In each we are given choices about being
aware of those around us, participating in activities for/with others,
attending to relationships, building connections, and also encouraging and
supporting each other. It comes down to
us being present for/with people, in situations and in environments.
Awareness
is so very important. Not knowing – a
person, situation, an issue, a problem – we act differently than when we’ve come
to know that person, situation, issue, or problem. To not know, we can dehumanize; but in coming
to know, can personalize …..
This gives
one perspective to the “Be present” concept.
Another idea about “Be Present” is be the gift given to another,
a treasure. Be the valued/valuable
blessing that lights up someone’s world, which enhances their joy.
Giving can
be an incredible blessing. It creates a
tremendous sense of wonder and awe to truly see the giving opportunities and
fulfillment. It is even more special to
be affected and have the Christmas spirit continue into and through the year to
come.
The 1st
Christmas was the start of something new, the gift of God, THE PRESENT for
all. Each Christmas and New Year for us
are opportunities for something renewed.
We should not remain wrapped.
We are meant to be blessings, be shared; Be Present!
