the ghost of Christmases past

Yeah. Maybe more than a few. Things I've said that hurt people I care about. Things I've done without really thinking about it. Sigh. If there's one New Year's resolution I do have, it's truly do all with loving motives. I've tried. I want to be a person of honor. Be the one to absorb the loss. Think more about others than I do about myself. Walk away rather than have the last word. Be glad for another who does well rather than fume or be jealous.

Loving sometimes does best saying nothing, being unnoticed, operating in grace. I need to learn that lesson.
