A Day to be Gracious

Sometimes the holiday season can be a big let down, but that is only a state of mind. It can be the expectations of getting the perfect gift for family and friends that can be the cause of the downward spiral of the season.
What is the reason for the season? For some of us it is the celebration of the birth of Christ, being thankful for the tiny bit of oil that kept a lantern going or whatever our belief system shows us how to remember the act of how to be gracious.
Be grateful for the family and friends that are in your lives. Be grateful for the blessings you have. Even if we find ourselves living on the streets there is always something to be grateful about.
Be gracious in your acts, my dear friends and enjoy the joys in your lives.
