           May this Christmas find you blessed
            In many different ways.
      May your stocking be filled with goodies
          And may joy fill up your days.
        May your heart and home overflow
           With the beauty that abounds
      And may these gifts all be reflections
           Of the inner gifts you found.
      May your heart be as pure as Mary’s
          And your soul magnify the Lord
       May your mind be as open as Joseph’s
         That you too can heed God’s word.
       May you be as vigilant as the shepherds,
           And may you hear the angels call
          May all of your gifts honor Christ
      And may they be blessings for one and all.
        May you, in the manger of your heart
           Make room this Christmas morn.
            For unto you this very day
            God’s sacred child is born.
             It is a sign from heaven
            God loves you, this is clear.
         May this gift bless your Christmas
          And uplift your whole New Year.

We often go back to the same old routine, the same patterns and beliefs, the same mistakes we have made before. We forget that we have affirmed a truth of our being, of the presence of God born into our awareness in a whole new way.

I was reminded of this recently when talking to a man who was telling me about his dog. He said, “We have a wonderful little dog in our family, but he does some stupid things.
