A new day, a new year

I went to see Les Miserables at the theater during the holidays.  I really enjoyed the experience.  The story was incredible.  One of the many great quotes, for me, was "To love another person is to see the face of God."  A friend of mine has shared many times that something for Christians to strive for is to see "God" in others.  Seek out their passion, love and talents and help celebrate those gifts with them.

Regardless of your religious, nonreligious or spiritual beliefs, I think there is something in that quote for us all. I believe that the true spirit of God is that of happiness, forgiveness, and healing.  So for me, to see the face of God in others, is putting your baggage in the "parking lot", putting that persons baggage in the "parking lot" and loving them for exactly who they are.

Perhaps if all "Christians", and followers of organized religions would share this belief, we would have a happier world, more peace in countries, inclusive communities and families without outcasts... and a bit more love in this big blue planet we call Earth.

Happy New Year to you, your family, and your friends.  May peace, love and compassion be with you and from you.
