Christmas Through the Eyes of a Child
Remember when you were just a child, all you needed to be happy was enough change to buy a bag of penny candy or a popsicle or two
Enough to share with a friend and laugh and play all day
To ride your bike, stare at the sky, play in the creek, or climb a tree
To play kickball, four square, or baseball until dark when the street lights came on, then run safely back home
Imagine all the dreams you had back then
And just think if you could dream again now and find a way to make next year be as wonderful as the memories and hopes of your childhood
It begins with a thought, a decision, a vision, words that give life
And then you could begin to write what comes into sight
The vison and purpose of your very BEST life!
I hope that these thoughts of reflection encourage you to reminisce, smile, and give you hope for a truly beautiful, peaceful, and prosperous holiday season as you “Write Your Sight” for 2024.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from my family to yours!
