Heartwings Love Notes 291 - The Season Of Peace

Heartwings says, “When Peace fills your heart it can overflow into the hearts of all those you love and care for.”

Christmas is indeed a season of peace. It is a time to forgive and to forget any hurt and sadness that arose during the past twelve months for whatever reason between others and myself. As I think of friends and family with peace in my heart a wave of forgiveness washes over me. Their perceived inadequacies and mine are minor and unimportant compared with the love we have to share.

We are all only human. It is rare to live up to the expectations of others, especially when you often have no idea what those expectations are. Seeming slights and insults may stem from misconceptions. Bitterness lodged in the heart that influences perception may simply be old baggage left from childhood, unknowingly carried with us as we have grown.

There is that which this year I wish I had not done, as well as things I wish had not happened. There is no way I can correct the past. I can, however, freshen the present and clean the slate for the future. I can forgive others and myself; I can allow myself to acknowledge that they as well as I did the best we could, regardless of the results. As I let go and release my old guilts and grievances compassion floods my heart. I hold there those I love and cherish and wish them peace.

This season revolves around the birth of the new and the letting go of the old. The light that is born in the darkness returns. It brings life to the frozen ground; it rekindles the spirit of joy in every heart. As I fill my heart with peace I prepare a place for the light to dwell. The old unfulfilled expectations now no longer cloud my vision. I greet with love and joy the child who brings us the season of peace.

May peace fill your heart and overflow into the hearts of all those you love and care for.

Blessings and Best Regards,
Tasha Halpert
