One More Day Alive

It’s not about whether the glass is half full or half empty— it’s about the value of the glass. The glass of your life is always valuable.

That’s because we can fill it with opportunities to love and be loved.

As we face tough times this holiday season, maybe it’s important to remind ourselves of how special every single person we meet is, and how much they have made our lives worth living over the last year.

So here is a simple way to make a special gift that will help you to remember the most important gift of all – each other!

A. First, go rummage around your house for an old vase or glass jar that you have always liked but that doesn’t get enough use.

B. Then between now and Christmas you and every member of your family answer one of these five simple questions below each day on a slip of paper and place it in the jar.

1. Who do you love and why are they special to you?
2. What’s the nicest thing anybody did for you today or this week and how did it inspire you?
3. What’s the kindest thing you did for anybody else today or this week? How has helping that person helped you?
4. What is something you saw somebody else do today or this week to help someone else that filled your heart with happiness?
5. Who loves you and how do they show it? How has their love and support changed your life?

C. On Christmas day after all the other presents are opened take down the jar and start reading all the wondrous ways that you all have loved and been loved, and it will be the greatest Christmas gift of all.

Then keep the glass out somewhere for the rest of the year in plain site where it will always remind you of all the love you have now and long after the holiday season is past.

Now email this along to at least five people this holiday to remind them too!

Then go fill up your glass with all the reminders of God’s mysterious spirit of love.

Merry Christmas everyone!
