A gifts of Love this Christmas 2024

Christmas is celebrated worldwide, often with various traditions that include special foods, decorations, gifts, and gatherings. Yet, in the busyness of it all, we can sometimes miss the true spirit of Christmas.

The True Spirit of Christmas

At its heart, Christmas is a season of love, peace, and joy—a time for healing, renewal, and inner strength. Experiencing this doesn’t require elaborate preparations; it calls us to let go of rigid expectations and embrace each moment as it unfolds. While sharing gifts and enjoying meals with loved ones can bring joy, our internal experience should remain the focus.

Let’s open ourselves to new understandings of Divine Love, Peace, and Joy this Christmas. Let us release our material desires, concerns, and expectations, placing them symbolically at the foot of the Christmas tree to be transformed and blessed.

On Christmas morning, may the Christ child be born within us so that we bring love, joy, and peace to those around us. If we feel sorrow, may we open ourselves to new joy; if we feel anger, may we give birth to greater compassion. In turmoil, may we find peace; in illness, may we find strength.

When we bless and honour each experience, each season of life, and each person we meet, we heal ourselves and embrace the fullness of life. We free our spirit to find joy in all things, not dependent on particular circumstances or people.

Dear friends, I extend my blessings and gratitude to each of you for your loving presence in the world.

May Peace and Love be your gifts this Christmas and always.

With blessings and love,

Terry Atman
