Great Love!

As I have the blessing of celebrating the Christmas holiday with my family in Puerto Rico, I dreamed of the day where no one would have to be on their own or celebrate the joy God gave us by themselves.
For the past few weeks I have been dreaming of being home and celebrating with family, "my" family. I have great in-laws that I get to share most of my day to day life with since they are in the same city I live in. I was given this opportunity during this Christmas. So for me sharing with "my" family has been a special treat and blessing. My niece, who I have not seen since she was two weeks old, is such a big girl and almost two years old. Now that I am here in Puerto Rico, I can only see the blessings I have and how "rich" I am. My God has given me so much. I have so much more than I can even dreamed of. What about those that do not know how much God has given them, His only son! How about those that don't think they have anything, or anyone that cares for them. During these times we need to reflect and think on how much God has sacrificed for us and how He is always with us. He gave His son so we can have family, friends, things, health, love, support, etc... and even when we don't know we have He is always we us!
So now, I reflect on those that need to know, those that need to be aware of how much God loves them. We are the ones that need to spread the news, give the love and teach others of what God has to offer. But we also need to be aware ourselves on how much we really have even when we cannot see it! Yeah we are all hurting because of the economy, some of us are hurting because we have people who have hurt us, others of us just don't believe or accept the truth in full, but we are all "rich". We are all bless with the love of God and even those that don't know or doubt are loved by God. Then why should not us? Why should we not love unconditionally? even when we don't agree? To love someone just becuase they exists is a hard concept to accept but if God loves you no matter what and gave up his only son for you then we have no excuse. So let's spread God's love and share life with others and love no matter what. Thank God for you, family, friends, health, love and most of all Jesus! One Great Love!!!
