A Dickon’s Christmas

ONE WEEK to wrap it all up, label everything and try to enjoy the moments with those around you. Feeling overwhelmed?

Here's a little wisdom inspired by Dickon's classic, A Christmas Carol:

If you are struggling with raw emotions and unrealistic expectations, try these three questions:
1. Does this person, pain or situation come from the past?
2. Does this person, pain or challenge belong in the present?
3. Does this person, pain or worry belong in the future?

We sometimes carry burdens of pain from the past that overwhelm. Today has enough trouble of its own, as the Proverb goes, so, what if we drop it all? Mentally leave the heavy packages under your tree. Wrap up the memories, and sadness and leave them, for just one week. You can pick it all up next week, it will be waiting for you!

Choose today's joy, notice little gifts...You can do this. It may not change your circumstances, but it will change you!
