Dear Friends,
It is hard to believe that December is already upon us, as well as, the season of Advent. Advent has been celebrated by many faith traditions since 400 C. E., whereby individuals exult the coming of Jesus, the Christ Child, into the world. Metaphysically we recognize the birth of the Christ Child to be the awakening within ourselves to the Truth that we are Divine. During the four weeks before Christmas we focus on aspects of our Spiritual nature to deepen our understanding and ultimately live from a place of knowing that each one of us is an expression of the Christ. By bringing forth faith, peace, love, and joy we emulate the Divine.
As you prepare for Christmas in the coming weeks, behold the Christ as you. Centered in Spiritual consciousness you radiate your God essence and bring forth the Christmas Spirit in all that you do. I believe the poem written by Warren Meyer depicts this beautifully!
You are Christmas…
Every time you smile and help to make the world a brighter place
You are Christmas…
Every time you laugh and let the sound join with all the happy music of the world
You are Christmas…
Every time you speak a word of faith to some fearful soul along an unpaved road
You are Christmas…
Every time you prayer a prayer for those who need your very special blessing
You are Christmas…
Every time your loving hand goes out of the way to give that extra special service
You are Christmas…
So, my friends I invite you to be Christmas and to participate here at Unity by the Shore in the upcoming services and events where we can behold the Christ in each other and deepen our spiritual journey. Below please find our schedule:
