Everyone is blessed at Christmas, whether they are aware of it or not. And you don’t have to be a Christian for Christmas to have an effect on your spirituality.
I’m a perfect example. I’m not a Christian. I don’t buy Christmas gifts or have a Christmas tree. Bah humbug. The materialism of Christmas turned me off nearly a half century ago. And a lifelong examination of my religious beliefs and the religious philosophies of the world has pretty much made me conclude that I’m perhaps an atheist.
But I am blessed with a great wife, who happens to be my best friend and business partner. Her unbridled enthusiasm for Christmas makes that a time of year that I especially appreciate all she’s done for me and all that she means to me.
I recall a quote, “Love is the soul’s recognition of its counterpoint in another.” That wraps up my feelings toward our special relationship.
So I ask on this Christmas day that you not dwell on what things you did or didn’t find under your Christmas tree. Instead, think longingly of the ones you love. For it is that love that carries you through the other 364 days of the year.
