A beautiful thing in my life is love notes. Just the other day I got an email from a friend I haven’t seen in a while. It was short and simple and sweet – “How are you?” “I’m thinking about you.” It warmed my heart and made me feel loved and appreciated.
I put a chocolate kiss (the mint truffle kind – yum!) and a little note on the pillows of my little ones yesterday afternoon. It is something I’ve needed to do for months, but kept procrastinating. But things have been a little rough around here lately and I felt like it was high time a few words and some chocolate worked its magic.
I think the magic it works is mostly in me. I pause to really think about how that person has blessed my life. And I feel blessed because of them – because of who they are and the privilege I have of walking along this path of life with them, even if it is only just crossing paths.
When we take the time to willingly love another person – to let them know they are loved – we make beautiful things happen both within them and within ourselves. They feel the warm glow of being appreciated and valued. And we feel the light and warmth that comes from Heaven telling us we did good in helping another human being feel loved. That is a beautiful thing. It helps me see the true magic of Christmas a little more clearly.
Do something beautiful today (and then tell me about it). ;>
