Curtain Drawn on Christmas Day 2009
The curtain may be drawn on “Christmas 2009” but the heart of Christmas continues to beat. We will have lots of reminders of this happy day by the gifts we received, the memories of the way the day was spent and who we were with, and the photos. Probably our weight is up a pound or two, a case of “What goes up but takes a lot longer to come down.” A treasure that I will put in my scrapbook is a piece of wrapping paper that I ripped off a giftfrom my nieces (pictured)—I only reuse boxes and bows so I really like to let her rip! I love getting gifts early enough to squeeze, shake, and peek through any little rips in the paper. I also enjoy when the gift is given early and I’ve had time to admire its wrapping paper and ribbon but haven’t needed to dust them yet. The outside of this gift was pretty enough but just like folks, it’s what’s inside that counts the most. On the other side of the paper the following words were printed over and over
TREASU(RED) INC(RED)IBLE KIND(RED) ADMI(RED) EMPOWE(RED) ADO(RED) INSPI(RED) SHA(RED) ENAMO(RED)INSPI(RED) CHEE(RED)
These words are the key to keeping Christmas in our hearts all year long; they are also the Red letter words to Livin’ in sunshine. If you want more red letter days in your life apply these words to yourself and others and the blessings will surely come your way,
These words deserve some more “in my face time” so they will become part of my refrigerator gallery! I may turn some of the paper into a few bookmarks, bumper stickers, and pins….but probably not!
