Dear Unity Friends,

I share this inspiration from "Peaceful Living" by Mary Mackenzie. 

Mahatma Gandhi said, "Where there is love there is life." 

Several years ago, my sister was with a dear friend when she died.  She called that evening to tell me about the experience.  I was so struck by the change in her.  She was soft and full of love and hope.  She told me that this friend and she had had a falling out a few years before, but they came together again when the friend was diagnosed with a fast-progressing cancer.  Then, as her friend took her last breath, my sister looked into her eyes and was overcome with love and compassion.  She knew in that moment that all had been  forgiven.  The only important thing is to love each other.  If you have moments when you are a bit more gruff than you had hoped, or you struggle with valuing everyone's needs, or you are judgmental, forgive yourself, move on, and try to do it differently next time.  Love yourself and other people as best you can.  Love is the only truly important thing we can do to resolve our conflicts, bring peace to the world, and heal our inner pain.

As Christmas rapidly approaches, make a conscious effort to make love the primary focus of all your interactions today.  Christmas will come and go, but the love we share will last a lifetime.

Happy Holidays!
