Did you know that this time of year can be very depressing? This is brought on by lack of sunlight, poor diet, and stress, stress, stress.
By now a lot of people are fed up with Christmas. They have been listening to Christmas carols for at least a month, and frantically fighting crowds of shoppers to get that perfect gift, not to mention baking, cleaning and more baking. The decorations and tree come down smack on the 26th of December, and everyone breathes a sigh of relief.
Got the post Christmas blues? Have I got good news for you! The commercial aspect of Christmas is over, except for diehard bargain hunters, but the REAL Christmas is just beginning.
Every day from Christmas day to January 6th, you can destress, take some time for yourself, recharge your batteries. Is that a spa, you ask? No, it is celebrating the Act of Consecration of Man. Every day at our church, there is a service during the 12 Holy Nights. That's a myth, you might think, but you are misinformed. In fact, orthodox churches do not celebrate Christmas until January 6th, or, as we know it, Epiphany.
Don't believe in angels either? I most certainly do. She is standing at the altar every morning during this time of year, whether anyone else is there or not. You see, this is a very special time of year. It is when "angels bend near the earth, to touch our hearts of gold". This is the best time to raise your Self up to the heavens, for they are very, very close. The world in solemn stillness lies, to hear the angels sing.
Hey, it ain't rocket science, it's just an hour out of your day, and it was specifically designed for YOU.
Be still, for I AM near.
See you there.
