Motivational Minute (050)


Quote of the day:

Christmas takes place in the heart. It is opening our hearts to others, giving of our time and energy to others, forgiving when needed, and accepting others as they are, in our hearts. It’s letting God’s Spirit reign in our hearts. —Robert Rider

Consider:

It’s Christmas season once again, and so many people are in need--so many are feeling lonely and in need of love, comfort, and some assurance that they matter. Many others are giving gifts at Christmas, hurrying here and there to buy things, to find the perfect present, to not be caught short having forgotten someone. But does all the material gift-giving really make a difference? Naturally, it is nice to be remembered with a tangible gift, but take a moment to think about these I’ve mentioned. Think about the ones who are lonely, the ones who are hoping for a little company, a little friendship, someone they can connect with. What kind of gift would they appreciate most?

Why not consider giving gifts of greater value this Christmas—give yourself, give a listening ear, give your love by spending time with those who are alone. Invite them into your home, or visit them in theirs.  Think about how you can reach out to others. See what you can do to make a difference in someone else's life.

Wishing you all the best,

Coach Dana
