It’s only been a short time since Dad passed away. The hardest is when I forget and then remember again that he is gone. This morning though, a small blessing, a moment of grace to start my day.

A comforting dream, just before I awoke.

I was walking from the back bedroom of their house toward the kitchen. And there was Dad, just as he’d always been when I’d been there on previous visits, except he was standing – with no pain on his face, wearing that white shirt with navy and red stripes and making me an instant morning coffee.

Mom joined him from the dining room and both of them lifted their eyes up from the coffee to greet me.

Then I woke up.

Thanks for my morning coffee and checking in on me Dad. You must have known how much I am missing you.

 When I think of Christmas, I think of gifts.

My Dear Friends:

You are a gift,

a gift to the world.

Every time you are kind to someone,

encourage them,

lend them your ear,

give them your shoulder to cry on,

hold their hand when they’re afraid,

ask for their forgiveness,

forgive them,

pray for them,

and love them;

you are a gift.

Thank you for the gift of your friendship.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! May you be as blessed in 2015 as you have blessed me.

May you love and be loved with abandon

May you give and receive mercy

May you grow in wisdom

May you practice compassion

May you get what you need, not what you want

May you know your calling and live it

May you seek peace

May you love justice

May you find and give acceptance

May light pierce your darkest moments

May you know and bring joy

May you recognize your God-given gifts and employ them for the good of all

And when you breathe your last in this world…

may you be satisfied with no regrets

Peace to you
