Christmas is for everyone who keeps looking for love in all the wrong places and hoping deep in their hearts that the hope of Christmas really does exist. Like Charlie Brown, if Christmas has got you down, if you’re feeling that your life somehow doesn’t measure up to the hype, then Christmas is for you!
There are many days that I go to bed thinking that I blew it: I wasn’t patient enough, gracious enough, merciful enough, pleasant enough, or just enough for what my kids needed that day. Yet somehow, where I see imperfection she sees wisdom.
What if just around the bend is the moment you’ve been waiting for and if you stay where you are or look the other way you’ll miss it completely? What if today isn't just another day but THE day?
If our words are toxic, we poison someone. If our words are beautiful, that beauty lives on in someone. If our words condemn, we tear away a little bit more of someone. Our spoken word (or like Mr. Muckety-Muck, even the unspoken word) just doesn’t say something about us, it does something to someone else.
This may be your first day of spring after a 10-month, two-year or four-year winter but you kept pushing, believing and hoping for spring. Today, everything changes because the last day of winter has passed and spring has finally come.

What will your words or lack of them speak today?
