IS THAT A PLATE OF COOKIES ON MY PORCH??

Holidays are a wonderful time of year.  It gives us an opportunity to reflect on relationships both past and current while growing closer to one another.  The holidays are a great opportunity to put ourselves in a position to serve and to help others...  to take care of those that may be in need.  This seems to be an easier concept for us to internalize than the challenge of allowing ourselves to be served.  We become accustomed to being doers during the holidays. We get caught up in the swiftness of shopping and preparing and our focus becomes directed towards pleasing and making other lives pleasurable during this time.  It is important for us to allow ourselves to receive as much as we are given to give others the opportunity to feel the holiday spirit and reap growth that comes from serving those around us.  It is my hope that during the holiday seasons that if you find yourselves being taken care of or served by another that you will take the time to reflect on the importance that they have placed on their relationship with you.
