Spirituality In Action: This Christmas

SPIRITUALITY IN ACTION (SIA) FOR THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS


With the preparations during Advent and the celebration of Christmas itself, it usually takes me a couple of days to wind down enough to be able to reflect on how I might be able to bring to birth the progress made during Advent into the liturgical season of Christmastide in my life.

The reflection poem "This Christmas" offers me a SIA challenge.

THIS CHRISTMAS
Mend a quarrel
seek out a forgotten friend
share some treasure
give a soft answer
encourage others
keep a promise
find time
listen
apologise if you were wrong
be gentle
laugh a little
laugh a little more
express your gratitude
welcome a stranger
gladden the heart of a friend
take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of our earth
speak your love
speak it again

speak it still once more
