A very important moment is approaching that we must receive in the best possible way. Learning to share small things with family, loved ones and friends is the most precious gift.
"But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people." Luke 2:10
When we reach a certain point in life, we should be able to focus on the experiences we have lived. Positive or negative, each one of those experiences brought us closer to the Lord and to the learning in the Faith that was necessary to forge our present. We have learned, even from the so-called failures or adversities.
If we are able to return to the path of enlightenment shown to us by the Holy Spirit, we will be able to enjoy and share the little things in life with our family or loved ones who know us best.
These are the people who have been closest to us in our lives and where the Heavenly Father deposits all His Glory.
"So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child." Luke 2:4-5
If we recognize some kind of lack in communication with our close ties, we should try to remedy them in fraternal communion and understanding.
In the face of family conflict, we should be calm and find the answer in God. During Christmas gatherings there may be friction, arguments or quarrels between relatives and let us remember that we can face these moments with listening, reflection and optimism.
Let us try to squeeze all the good that this celebration of Jesus can have, in family, with friends and loved ones. Treasure those moments that, although they may seem complicated at times, allow us to extend love to our inner self.
"But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.'" Matthew 1:20
If we have to celebrate these holidays without a loved one we can try to say a prayer for them to be part of the table and make their presence a reality.
This learning of detachment is a blessing that God gives us, and that people who have lived it closely have obtained great doses of Glory and happiness, becoming pure life.
In the divine plan of the Heavenly Father, we have a superior objective, with a greater capacity of valuation for our destiny of faith.
"While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them." Luke 2:6-7
We must remember the importance of this type of celebration. Regardless of how or where, the priority will be given to the human quality and spiritual goodness that emerges from the gathering.
It is a small excuse to be together with the beings of light that the Lord allows us to embrace and those who from prayer approach us with a simple reminder: love transcends all kinds of borders and temples.
