December peace,
Joy in the silent voice of nature.
“The world in silent stillness lay…”
The anticipation builds and.
Woods and fields tingle with the static of Krishna-Christ consciousness.
Winter, as a time of darkness and cold, welcomes the colorful celebration of quiet joy
And of peace and goodwill towards all.
Tree branches reach for heaven
Their nakedness revealing their true nature,
Just as the Creator’s gifts to us reveal the
True nature of His love.
Gray December skies lower,
Heavy with the gifts of Winter and
Hardy crows sit in the tree tops and lend their
Voices to the choir of December love.
The Winter Solstice is a time for the celebration of the return of the Sun,
A symbol of the promise of light in the darkness, a promise of hope to all human kind.
An appropriate time as well for a celebration of the Sons of God who
Are the greatest symbols of hope in every type of darkness.
I can see the evidence of Their love in everything around me,
From the cawing crows, and the beautiful dried wild grasses of the field,
To the naked tree branches and the ultrasound picture on my desk
Of my newest grandchild still in the womb.
We are continually surrounded by the grace and love of the Creator
The proof is unmistakable and profound in its simplicity.
So this December, in this time of giving, open your eyes and heart
And feel the Joy; it is the best gift of all and it won’t cost you a penny.
Merry Christmas

Mostly the landscape, as far as we have heard no one has been hurt.

Nothing can take from me the peace and joy I feel this December. Last December I was a nervous wreck scared to death living in a home that felt like a minefield. This December I am happy, safe and free. I’m experiencing the true peace and joy of December. Thanks for the great post, of reflections on December.

I am not healed, I’m just grateful that I know longer live in tremendous fear. My husband was cruel, I would go weeks with no food for punishment, while he would sit and eat in front of me. I am just so happy to be away from the abuse. Believe me, my heart and soul ache for him. I constantly have to remember He doesn’t love me, he could care less what happens to me
That hurts , its deep, deep, deep pain. Yet I still can say by the Grace of God, I better off. I hope we both one day can be totally healed, all the longing, wondering where he is and just really any thoughts off him will be behind us.
