Christmas time is near. What is the message children hear? If you aren’t good, you won’t get anything for Christmas. Santa knows who is naughty or nice.
Should the love we get really be based on the actions others want us to take? Should not the love of our child be Unconditional? Shouldn’t we be teaching our children our love is unconditional rather than trying to intimidate or manipulate their choices and actions through the gifts we might give?
Children, like ourselves, are learning as they go, so mistakes are a part of learning. Point them in the right direction then let them make their mistakes. Love them endlessly and unconditionally without the intimidation or manipulation through gifts.
Many Many Many people get depressed and unhappy at Christmas time. Have they been taught that their self worth or what they have is based on how good they are? Has the Christmas teaching that you better be good translated into I’m only good if I possess a lot of things? Do people look at what they have at Christmas time and conclude they are not good?
What are we teaching our children? What are we teaching ourselves?
I say Love should be Unconditional. Until we do this, someone will always get hurt at some point in time.
We are all Spiritual beings in our true natures. What physical things we possess does not matter. We are all children of God. We are all so special in so many ways. We are all important and unique. There is no one in the universe exactly like you nor will there ever be.
Forget those physical possessions. Share that which is special about you with the world. If you see nothing special about yourself, be who you are and share that with others. That special will come out even if you do not realize it.
What am I giving for Christmas? UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!! Everyone of you out there have all my Love and Kindness!! There are no conditions. It’s for that special you that you are.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everybody!!
That’s what I see. It’s very very very clear!! I hope it’s now clear for you too!!
