As our homes get in order we find that we are walking in an envelope of peace. This peace follows us and we pass it on to others. Isn't it amazing when we are no longer living in CHAOS that we can see, hear and feel the arms of God guiding us? When CHAOS reigns we are blind to the needs of others. We are surrounded by a fog, and we are always so busy putting out the fires that our blindness has created. Once the fog has lifted and we are able to think, the most wonderful things start to happen.

At this time of the year we are into the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Don't allow your busy life to keep you stuck in CHAOS. Slow down and smell the roses. Before you know it, an opportunity to pay it forward will cross your path. Let's keep it going throughout the year! We can have the spirit of the holidays all year long. "Pay it forward," "pass it on," "random acts of kindness," "what goes around comes around," whatever you call it, take a moment to touch another person with your love.
