Today’s column isn’t going to be about buying or selling your home or downsizing or anything at all about your home. You all know that I am here to help when you need help with that. Today we are setting aside all things regarding your home. Except to offer my blessings from our home to yours during this wonderful holiday season.
Anyone who knows me well knows that I totally LOVE Christmas! I love the entire Christmas season. I enjoy decorating, putting up the outside lights and nativity scene, trimming our tree, planning, shopping, and family and friends gathering. I love our church services and the Christmas Cantata our church does SO WELL. Let’s not forget gift giving…. I go overboard every year! Then of course, Christmas eve and Christmas day. The celebration of the birth of our Savior is the highest highlight of my entire year and I’m filled with JOY each year at Christmas.
This time of year, I have the privilege to reach out to many wonderful people for a higher purpose than buying and selling their homes. For me being entrusted with such a major responsibility is clearly a privilege that I don’t take lightly, but now I get to reach out as a friend, as a brother.
I get to offer Christmas wishes and blessings to the many wonderful people I’ve known and those I’ve yet to meet. I get to extend my wishes that the New Year will be richly blessed. I get to remind those that I know and love that we all have so much to be thankful and grateful for as this year draws to a close. It’s a great time to reflect on all the good things and good times the past year has brought to each of us.
As I get older, I have realized that my family, my friends and the wonderful relationships I’ve been blessed with ARE the riches I cherish most. For those of you that are close to me, I am deeply grateful and thankful for each of you. My greatest riches and blessings are each of you.
I meet a lot of great people through my work and that allows me to work with them over time, developing friendships that often stay with me. That is a reward I genuinely appreciate and value greatly. I am privileged to write this column, and there are many of you that I have not yet met, but I’m thankful and grateful for all of you too.
May each of you be BLESSED along with your home and family this holiday season. May you count YOUR blessings and may you celebrate their goodness in your lives. May you cherish your family, friends and loved ones. May your Christmas season be filled with love, joy and happiness. May the hope and magic of Christmas fill your hearts with gladness and peace. May your New Year be joyful and may the coming one be your best year ever.
