Merry Christmas 2011
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas.
I have been pondering the meaning of Christ-mass recently, with my ever developing and expanding spiritual growth. As I realise more and more how much we are all connected and that we cannot put anything in a box.
We need to be accepting of all beings, regardless of their faith or religion. We are all just looking for love and peace in our lives.
We celebrate Christmas as a family, not because we are religious.
We celebrate Christmas because we celebrate the beautiful light of peace that is born at this time of year.
As Katie said so beautifully in her blog: " A quote from the HH 14th Dalai Lama's spiritual autobiography about his belief that "We can do without religion but not without spirituality" he describes it as the "development of human qualities such as love, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, patience or sense of responsibility" and that these are sources of happiness for ourself and others."
Wishing you peace, love, tolerance and forgiveness during this beautiful time.
Blessings to you.
Your have written this beautifully Ola, looking upon the day as one of acceptance and love for one another. We are not religious but we look upon the day as a way of celebrating our love for one another by being together. I enjoy this time of togetherness. Blessings to you too. xx
