Gisele Ireland
Christmas wishes for you
In whatever fashion you and your
loved ones plan to spend celebrating
the birth of Christ, I have a wish for
you. 1 wish you JOY and HOPE but
most of all I wish you PEACE.
It's a &jmple wish, and I knok+ from
experience how
elusive PEACE
is to find. It isn't
in the endless
activities and
preparation that
surround this
season. Those
are exhausting
no matter how
successful the
execution. Open
the Bible to
Matthew's
rendition of the
Holy Birth. Read
it aloud and feel
the PEACE in the words. There is no
emergency room drama in this
beautiful passage. There is no high tech
equipment supplied by a medical team
on adrenaline overdrive. There is
PEACE, followed by JOY in the arrival
of the Christ Child, wrapped in HOPE
for us all.
PEACE is one of the most divine
gifts we can possess, but can't be given
nor bought. It has to be within us. It is a
feeling that all is well with your soul no
matter how often your faith has been
tested in the past. PEACE gives a solid
base to face the challenges of the future.
PEACE is holding a child's hand as
they gaze with awe towards the star
studded heavens and ask which is the
"special" star. PEACE is in the tears
that unashamedly course down your
cheeks as the poignant strains of "Silent
Night" drift through the stillness. We
rarely remember what material things
we received at this time of the year, but
the memories of sharing love and
laughter with our families and friends
linger forever.
We all know of people who have an
aura of PEACE around them. Choose
to spend time with them because
PEACE is like a virus, and can be
catching. There is nothing frantic, loud
or aggressive about PEACE. It's like a
soothing ointment to take the irritation
out of daily life.
If PEACE were an infectious virus,
and spread uncontrollably, there would
be a lot more JOY, and the promise of
HOPE could be fulfilled as prophesied.
Think of PEACE as God's special
gift to you and accept it with JOY.
After the last ornament has been
packed away, the last wreath carefully
boxed and the plug pulled on the lights,
PEACE will linger and shine brightly
in your soul. It is my wish for you.0
Gisele Ireland, from Bruce County, is
an author of several humorous books
on farm life.
WE'RE
MAKING
A LIST...
There's no better
time of the year to
say thanks and
wish you all a
joyous season.
