Come Back To The Heart of Christmas

Come Back To The Heart of ChristmasDuring the Christmas season it’s so easy to get caught up in the busyness of the season and to get distracted by issues, obligations and stories.  Today I’d like to encourage you to put aside the trappings and commercialism of the season for a moment, to come back to the heart of Christmas and to share your good will with others.

Connecting To The Heart of Christmas

Christmas is one of the most celebrated events around the world, and is a busy time for many people.  Too often though, people loose sight of the big picture.  Instead they get caught up in busyness, obligations and inflated expectations.  That’s why it can be really beneficial to stop for a moment and to reconnect with what’s important. 

Below are the lyrics and music video for Matthew West’s beautiful song, “The Heart of Christmas”.  Take a few moments now to watch and listen to the music video of Matthew West’s song, and to connect with the heart of Christmas for you.   Click here

Lyrics:

I’m going to make a wish this Christmas 
I’m going to say a little prayer
Im going to stop here for a moment
Before the moment disappears

The World’s in a hurry this December
The city street’s a shopping mall
I wish we could slow down and remember
the meaning of it all

Wherever you are no matter how far
Come back to the heart, the heart of Christmas
Live while you can, cherish the moment
The ones that you love, make sure that they know it
And don’t miss it, the heart of Christmas

Let’s make it feel the way it used to
Let’s find the wonder of a child
You can see the magic all around you
Come on and open up your eyes

Well you can find it in the warm embrace of your family
Or call up a long lost friend
You can even find it in the eyes of a stranger
When you reach out a helping hand

Wherever you are no matter how far
Come back to the heart, the heart of Christmas
Live while you can, cherish the moment
The ones that you love, make sure that they know it
And don’t miss it, the heart of Christmas

In this shadow of a feeling
It’s the star that lights the way
You will find you need an angel
The heart of Christmas has a way

I’m going to make a wish this Christmas
I’m going to say a little prayer

Wherever you are, not matter how far
Come back to the heart, the heart of Christmas
Live while you can, cherish the moment
The ones that you love, make sure they know it

Wherever you are, not matter how far
Come back to the heart, the heart of Christmas

Spreading Goodwill

Some people find Christmas a difficult time, and find it hard to be merry.   Take a few minutes now to consider someone who finds it hard to be merry, or is going through a tough time.  They may be someone you know well, an acquaintance or someone you’ve just come into contact with.  It  might even be you …

Here’s a way you can spread your own goodwill at Christmas:

  • Come back to your own heart
  • What loving goodwill message is within your heart
  • Picture  someone who find’s it hard to be merry;
  • In your mind, connect with them.
  • Send a prayer or wish to them, sharing your own heart felt message 

Remember spreading love and goodwill shouldn’t just be confined to social, cultural or religious celebrations.  So … connect with your heart … spread your love and goodwill  … all year round.

You can take steps today to connect with the heart of your Christmas.  Then, spread your goodwill with others.

Warm Regards

Lisa
