Can You Imagine? Holidays Magic!
|
|
Can you imagine? There is holiday magic all around you. Where is it?
In your heart. Believe in the magic of the holidays, expect to experience it, and accept it.
How and where does it come from? (1) The spirit of generosity: small acts of caring, kindness and love. (2) Observation, stillness, and appreciation about what is going on at the present time. (3) The spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving. (4) Planned or unplanned moments when something sparkle, or a feeling explores unexpectedly. (5) Traditions. (6) The spirit of inspiration. (7) Celebrating each other and relationships. (8) Intangible and tangible moments, and more.
Can I create magical moments? You may create activities or ambiances to generate magical moments; however, magical moments cannot be mandated. They come natural when you least expect it and beyond your wildest dream. Every moment matters. Stop and enjoy each moment and allow nature to unfold the magic moments to you.
Here are a few ways to create magical moments, ignite a sparkle of flame, or bring brighter light to others. You may be inspired with ideas of your own. Some things are priceless and you can't write a check.

Reach Out and Touch Lyrics
Charles F. Brown
|
|
 |
Verse 1
Reach out and touch
A soul that is hungry
Reach out and touch
A spirit in despair
Reach out and touch
A life torn and dirty
A man who is lonely
If you care
Reach out and touch
That neighbor who hates you
Reach out and touch
That stranger who meets you
Reach out and touch
The brother who needs you
Reach out and let the smile of God
Touch thru you
|
|
|
|
Verse 2
Reach out and touch
A friend who is weary
Reach out and touch
A seeker unaware
Reach out and touch
Though touching means losing
A part of your own self
If you dare
Reach out and give
Your love to the loveless
Reach out and make
A home for the homeless
Reach out and shed
God's light in the darkness
Reach out and let the smile of God
Touch through you
|
|
|
|
The Reach Out and Touch lyrics applies to everyone globally. Sharing a part of you is an expression of love and creates magical moments. Experience them throughout the year. It is "What the world needs now -love sweet love."
