Positively Yours,

Positivity Power
The word for this season is Hope. (Though hectic, hassled, and harried may also come to mind!) As a child, you likely celebrated the holidays with joy, wonder, and hopeful anticipation. As an adult, however, you may find it hard to regain that spirit of hope and gladness. Days seem short. Obligations seem overwhelming. For some, sadness and helplessness creep in. It's time to recall the hope...the hope of Christmas, affirmed by a destitute Baby born in a barn...the hope of Hanukkah, proven by one day's oil burning for eight.

 Lessons from LeAnn
If you are one of the 93% of Americans who believe in God, this is a season to tap into your faith. To hope. Hope abounds and fear dissipates when you remember you are a child of the living loving Creator of all life, whose presence and power guides you.
There's hope. See it in the eyes of a child gazing at a Christmas tree. See it in the bloom of the poinsettia promising the return of spring. Feel it in your heart as your anticipate the promise of great blessings to come.
In the midst of these hectic, hassled, and harried days, take time to refurbish your hope, then share it.
Light a candle or sit in silence before the lights of the Christmas tree. Be still. Tap into the place of renewal in you, which is only a prayer away.
Put a coin in every red kettle you pass. Thank the bell-ringers and watch the hope dance in their eyes.
Partake in a religious service that blesses your spirit and rekindles your hope.
Today and every day, go forward in the assurance that God's presence and power are nurturing and protecting you. There is hope.
