Holiday Blessings to you … 2022/2023
Dear CCI friends and colleagues,
We are thinking of you and your loved ones during the end of this turbulent year 2022! Join us in actively putting out more love, kindness and patience with others, sharing food to those in need, supporting every opportunity from Salvation Army to those standing on street corners with “Help signs.” One such young mother dressed in a normal coat, a child at her side, held a sign saying “I have four small children and lost my job.” Too often we are seeing such evidences among us. Let us be generous wherever we can be.
Let us meditate, chant, pray for those Ukrainian, Russian, Poles and other boys at this moment in uniform in snow, slosh, mud across the world from our safe homes. War is such a tragic use of youth, mid-aged planners and aging generals … it’s an abomination to humankind. Pray that we earthlings will realize how degrading Wars really are. They make us all poorer at the financial, national level and at the spiritual level.
Start the discussion with your neighbors, your club members, your families, your senators, representatives and your spiritual leaders for the sake of our futures … which could end up destroying us and our fragile planet.
