Christmas without Cash!

I have to say for the first time in my life, I am without cash this Christmas season.  With the recent economic woes of the world it has really hit my friends and family HARD.  

Last night I attended two fabulous holiday parties, and the main topic that came to discussion was I have just lost my job or I am so broke.  Thankfully my friends think like I do in having extreme faith and knowing that when one door closes another one opens.  See, I believe that the true test for all of us at this time is to really focus and listen to God for spiritual discernment.  When most people have cash they sometimes lose site on what is really important.

Luckily for me this holiday season has been a time for me to show my daughter that we still have all of our needs met.  Even though our wants are not being met, we are still maintaining.  I know that she will remember this period in our lives and strive to be the best young lady she can.  I was so proud of her the other day when she told me "Mom you are strong"  I wanted to cry with joy!

The lesson for me and my Christmas without cash is to know that family, friends, just being and true love is the key to all of this.  I haven't felt so rich in spirit in such a long time.

What is the true reason for your season?  Let me know your thoughts.
