Love is Christmas. Love is home... being at home with ourselves and with our nearest and dearest ones. Let this be a time to remember... to really focus on this. Especially with everything going on. Our country is facing a most precarious time... yes. And we are called to stand up and raise our hands and our voices "out there". Yes. AND. Let us hold dear that which is right in front of us here and now. Our loved ones... our sacred places. And that which can never be touched or taken away. The eternal living spirit buzzing inside of us... the gift that can never be shattered, tattered, or worn out. This is LOVE. Know it... feel it... share it... receive it. We need it more than ever. And love is what Christmas is all about. Period. Well, it's really all anything is about... but in this particular season, let's not get thrown off course by the bright, glittery, illusive shiny things nor the illusive darkness. Let's focus our minds and hearts on the only thing that is real: LOVE.
I'm sharing a song that I performed recently at a morning service. The perfect and beautiful "Love is Christmas" by Sara Bareilles. It all came together that morning like magic... and beautifully captured in this recording (thanks to Rand Deahl and Eric Montgomery). Well, it does help to have an incredible music team with some of the finest musicians around... :-) but I also believe there was some divine intervention going on... as there usually is. Merriest of Christmases to all. LOVE, LOVE and more LOVE!
