I'm a little disturbed on hearing reports that workers at Target, Walmart, and other retail stores will be asked to report for work Thanksgiving evening or by 12:00am Friday morning. It's a holiday for everyone. If you need something - buy it the day before. Or the day after. The era of "Black Friday" should be over. The mad rush to buy, comsume, to have bleeds us dry spiritually. Enjoy Thanksgiving - stay in, eat (healthy)spend time with your family, watch football or the first airing of It's Wonderful Life for the season. Enjoy Christmas - but keep the stress at bay, it's a spiritual holiday first. It's the birth of Christ and Christ is alive within us all - so it is our day to give birth to the spiritual aspect of ourselves, the loving aspect. Give yourself the gift of peace first, then extend it towards other. And maybe then buy the toy, clothes, gift for a loved one. Or maybe again just offer them your love. It's the greatest gift we have to share.
God Bless.
