Many years ago, G-Pop suggested to his children that they celebrate December 1st as “Life With Style New Year”–not that there was anything particularly wrong with a January 1st startup on the calendar.
But because Christmas is such a special season, it just seemed natural to G-Pop that the year should commence with Yuletide sentiments.
It is a simple celebration–a time to welcome the Prince of Peace to a world that’s not very peaceful; to smile on a baby born in a manger to a planet that has somewhat forgotten the total safety of children; and to acknowledge once again that we are heart, soul, mind and body people, and each part of us needs to hum at a sweet vibration in order for our entire beings to be satisfied.
The heart needs joy.
The soul needs humility.
The mind needs creativity.
And the body needs temperance.
Even though sadness will come into our emotions, we become mature when we understand that our weeping needs to cease, allowing a new morning of joy to dawn.
Although we may feel greatly spiritually blessed by God’s love, we all must humbly remember how it is grace that covers our multitude of sins.
And merely using the mind to recollect instead of expanding ourselves with new ideas is a waste of good brain power.
And of course, the body should have license for nourishment and pleasure–as long as we don’t do too much.
December 1st is a day to rejoice in the birth of possibilities, the nurturing of peace and the joy that we humbly and creatively practice in temperance.
So from G-Pop and his family: Happy Life With Style New Year.
May the Christmas Season bring you all the wonderment it was intended to give.
