Christmas is nearly on us…only a few days to go.
You, me, most other people living in our Western society, are up to our ears in plans, preparations, cooking, cleaning, festivities, shopping, wrapping. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your level of peace?
That is my
wish for you, to know deep peace at Christmas in the midst of everything else that is going on.
How is that possible?
As ever, awareness is key. Taking even just a minute as we transition between activities, to stop and check in with ourselves.
What is most important to me here, now?
Why am I doing what I am doing?
How am I taking a little time to care for myself in the midst of everything, so I can give more of my best to others?
How am I loving those around me?
This week, these words are running through my mind –
Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you.
Deep peace of Christ,
of Christ the light of the world to you.
Deep peace of Christ to you.
John Rutter
I encourage you and me both to stop. Just for a minute. To breathe, to pay attention to the moment – the quiet, the stars, the light.
Whether you have a faith or not, to recognise and cherish the central role of love, grace and kindness at this time of year – especially to those for whom this season is really hard.
To recognise that we are unique and extraordinary human beings, and that we are part of something much bigger than just ourselves.
Perhaps even to take two minutes to sit in the deep peace of this beautiful melody by John Rutter.
Deep peace – just imagine that with me for a moment. That is my hope for you over this Christmas season – that you would know peace and contentment in who you are and what matters most to you.
Merry Christmas!
Your reminder to pause, reflect, and cherish the true essence of the season resonates deeply. I love how you emphasize grace, love, and mindfulness during such a busy time. Just as you encourage finding peace, creating a seamless online presence with a professional landing page template can help coaches and businesses connect authentically and focus on what truly matters. Beautifully written—thank you for sharing this perspective
What a beautiful reflection on finding peace amidst the holiday rush! It’s so easy to get swept up in the busyness, but your words remind us to pause and cherish what truly matters. Just as mindfulness anchors us during the season, creating serene and organized online spaces can anchor businesses year-round. Using Landing Page Templates allows professionals to streamline their messaging and focus on what’s most important: connecting with their audience authentically.
