Embracing Joy: Ten Steps To Make The Most Of The Month Of December…

The end of the year is almost here, but before the clock strikes midnight and a new year begins, we still have 31 incredible days to enjoy this amazing gift called life that we have been blessed with. December, the culminating month of the year, arrives again this year with a special charm—a time when the air is filled with the scent of festivities, our minds with reflection, and our hearts with anticipation. As the year draws to a close, it brings a multitude of opportunities to embrace the joy, spread warmth, and prepare for a fresh new beginning. Here are 8 Steps we can take to make the most of this remarkable month:

1. Embrace Festivities: December marks the pinnacle of celebration and our spirit needs some good celbration, laughter and fun . Dive into the festivities, whether it’s lighting up the menorah for Hanukkah, decorating the Christmas tree, or preparing for Kwanzaa. Engage in the celebrations of your culture as you partake in the traditional rituals, and revel in the joy of just simply being together with those you love.

2. Reflect and Reconnect: Amidst the hustle and bustle, make sure that you carve out moments for introspection. Look on the inside of yourself by reflecting on the past months, acknowledge your achievements, and contemplating areas where you need to grow. Make time to reconnect with loved ones by taking the time for gatherings, the sharing of stories, and the opportunity to relive cherished memories. December offers a perfect backdrop to nourish our connections with those that we really care about.

3. Spread Kindness: The real essence of December lies in giving. Extend acts of kindness to those around you. Volunteer your time, donate to charities, or simply lend a helping hand to someone in need. A small gesture can create an immense impact and bring warmth to someone’s heart and blessings to all around.

4. Savor the Seasonal Delights: Indulge in the flavors and aromas unique to December. Treat yourself to hot cocoa by the fireplace, relish gingerbread cookies, or try the diverse array of traditional holiday dishes. Allow your senses to revel in the culinary delights this month brings. Actually take time to enjoy the tastes of the holiday season.

5. Set Intentions for the New Year: December serves as a bridge between the old and the new. Take this time to set intentions for the upcoming year. Outline your goals, aspirations, and resolutions. Visualize the path ahead and lay the groundwork for a promising start to the new chapter. I like to think of a word that will be my word for the new year. My new year word for 2023 was FAITH and my new year word for 2024 is INFLUENCE.

6. Appreciate Nature’s Beauty: Depending on your location, December either blankets the world in snow or paints it with blossoms. Embrace the beauty of nature—go for a winter walk, admire the twinkling lights, or take in the vibrant colors of blooming flowers in the Southern Hemisphere. Connect with the natural world around you. It really is the most wonderful time of the year!

7. Practice Gratitude: Cultivate a mindset of gratitude. Acknowledge the blessings, big or small, that have enriched your life throughout the year. Keep a gratitude journal, expressing thankfulness for moments, experiences, and the presence of those who’ve made a difference in your life. I like to write down at least three things that I am thankful for everyday.

8. Pay Attention To The Spiritual: Our lives are physical, mental and spiritual. Be sure to focus on and work on the spiritual part of your life by taking time to think about the greatest gift ever give and how that gift makes your life worth living.

9. Create Lasting Traditions: Establishing traditions adds depth and meaning to the holiday season. Whether it’s baking together with family, hosting a themed gathering, or watching classic movies, these rituals foster a sense of belonging and create timeless memories. We take and make time for what really matters to us.

10. Enjoy Yourself! As December unfolds its charm, make sure that you seize the opportunity to immerse yourself in its magic. Let it be a time of joy, reflection, and preparation for the exciting prospects ahead. Embrace the festive cheer, cherish your loved ones, and welcome the new year with open arms.

Soul Play!

I don’t have a soul, I am a soul! What an amazing truth to buy into and build our life upon. I think one of the reasons I often have such a hard time getting in touch and staying connected to my true self is because I way to frequently lose sight of the reality that I am a soul.

Soul is not something that I look for and find. Soul is something that I am. Soul is what I am, when I am the truest, most real version of the self that God created me to be.

I don’t have to look for soul, because soul will find me, because soul is who I really am. Soul actually chases after you and me, longing to be discovered and embraced.

This dance with the soul is much like a game of hide and seek. Our goal should be to do anything and everything we can to be found. To be found by our soul reconnects us with everything that really matters in life and eternity.

At the end of the day, soul wants to be with you as much as you want and need to be with soul, so why not just give in and let it be???

This Is The Way!

Our Biggest Challenge: God’s Ways Are Not Our Ways!

I think one of the biggest challenges in life has to be the realization that there is more than one way. I mean 2+4=6, but so does 3+3=6 and they are both right. Live life long enough and you will discover that there is the right way and the wrong way, the easy way and the hard way, God’s way and your way, and we could go on and on and on.

8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts higher than your thoughts. -Isaiah 55:8-9

You’ve Tried It Your Way!

Let’s get honest and real for a few moments: You’ve tried it your way and things just aren’t lining up and working out. You know there is a better way and you know that better way is God’s way, so why are you so hard headed and reluctant to let go of your way and try God’s way? If it because you are afraid that it might actually work and you might start enjoying this gift called life? Is it because you have become so accustomed to misery that you think there is no other way to live?

I want to challenge you to get really real with yourself for just a few moments. You’ve been doing life your way and how’s that working out for you? Do you really think that you are living up to your God-given potential and are you really experiencing all of the blessings you were created to experience and share? Most of us, if we are honest, have to admit that we are living way below the level of our blessed, created potential and we know that God has so much more in store.

Seriously think about it! Take a look back on your life and living and learn whatever this life is trying to teach you or you will continue to repeat the same mistakes and live the same life. God has better and God wants better for you, but God loves you and will never force his blessings upon you.

If you do what you’ve always done, you will get what you’ve always got! If you want a better and more blessed life, then you have to admit that you don’t have it all figured out and that is totally okay. Once we admit that we don’t have it all figured out, then we can begin to look to the One Who does have it all figured out and He will direct and guide us to where we need to be and give us the strength to do what we need to do, so that our life and living aligns with His plans for blessing and growth.

You can’t, but God can and He has and He will, if you will get out of His way…
