When New Year's Day comes
what exactly does it mean?
Actually, it can mean several
things, but usually it is a time
to think of new beginnings.
A time to reflect upon our lives
and see if there is way to make
them better. It is also a time for
us to think about making
amends for past mistakes.
You see, we humans are not
"forever," at least not in the
physical sense, as we too often
forget the vibrancy and joy of
being young and take it out on
our loved ones.
Sadly, far too many times when
we become angry at the ones
we love we forget to say, "I'm
sorry." Love, then becomes only
an empty word without any true
meaning, a word we only use for
convenience in order for us to
get our own way.
Then when New Year's Eve
comes, we jump up and down
like grasshoppers celebrating
what we think is our happiness
without realizing that each time
we shout, "Happy New Year's,"
we are actually one more year
closer to our own demise.
That is why it's important for us
to treat our loved ones and other
people with respect, kindness and
love, and to give thanks for another
year given to us by the very source
of all love, a little baby born on -
Christmas Day in a Manger.
