The Greatest Gift On Your Holiday List (a tribute to our family Elders)
(Sun. Dec. 18, 2010) Today on Inspirational Conversations Radio Show, Mary shared how many of us spend so much of our time, countless hours making that list and checking it twice. We stress and second guess about our ability or lack of, to meet some unrealistic Holiday expectation. Mary shared how for the first time in many years, there is nothing that she desires for Christmas from a materialistic stance and how there is such power in that. She also shared how she feels a need to give of herself in a way that will transcend the recipients heart, while expanding hers.
Mary spoke of how her great Aunt gave of herself in such a beautiful way and how she learned so much from her stating,"I listened very closely to her stories, her wisdom and life instructions. I learned more from my Aunt than any history class. We would just sit for hours engaging in this beautiful connection. She gave to me a piece of her soul, in the hope that I would grow to appreciate family, my life's journey and the journey of those who paved the path, I now travel. And her greatest hope, was that I would grow, to have endless gratitude for GOD and I do."
Mary encourage all to make a list of the Elders within their life and to create a plan of action to connect with them. And to just shower them with love because many of them feel that we are all to busy, to make them a priority.
Today's show concluded with Mary stressing that the most profound expression of love, your greatest gift this Holiday Season, is actually within you. It's your time, your energy and your ability to extend love. Its' value will far exceed any item on your gift list and its impact will last beyond your life time.
