Charity Matters Inspiration December 23, 2020

A Christmas Wish for 2020

I know this year has been difficult for many of us. When I began thinking about how this year has affected us all, I think that we have a renewed appreciation for one another and most especially our health. This image from It’s a Wonderful Life is a reminder of what happens when we realize what we have and not what is lost. This year our priorities have shifted in the best of ways, our self-care, appreciation for what is important, and how we spend our time. 2020 has changed all of this. As Christmas is just a few days away I thought I would share a few inspirational thoughts to keep us focusing on the true meaning of the season and what matters.

“May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope; The spirit of Christmas which is peace; The heart of Christmas which is love.”

Ada V. Hendricks

“Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see the joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values.”

Thomas S. Monson

“At Christmas, all roads lead home.”

Marjorie Holmes

“My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?”

Bob Hope

It is a wonderful life despite the challenges we face. We have much to be grateful for. Wishing you and yours the most magical Christmas season. Merry Christmas!

Charity Matters Quotes December 14, 2015

There is no place like home

“At Christmas, all roads lead home.”

Marjorie Holmes

Dorothy was right, there is no place like home. As I pack and plan for our December 28th move and departure from this home, I have never been more aware of how special home is. To me it is everything.

Home is family, home is love, it is safety, warmth, comfort and a place to be together. Wrapping up ones life and preparing for the holidays has put perspective on the importance of such a place. We suggested that going away this Christmas might be better with all the chaos and the unanimous vote was, “No, we want to be at home!”

So we are here, a Charlie Brown Christmas but we are home. At the end of the day, it is not what is inside the home but who. This week when they all come spilling back from school our home will once again be full and ready for the holidays.
