That was an inspiring and uplifting post, emotional as well, as we look into the unknown year to come with hopeful anticipation. Merry Christmas to you and yours and may the Christ of Christmas bring blessings of peace and joy to your heart.

Thank you. That was beautiful. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

May 2026 bring us peace, health, and the earth controlled by its people, not the government of anyone

I.e., the once Judeo-Christian wisdom/principles that built this (once Creator-inspired) "One nation under God"! Now nothing more than a moral and bankrupt, mass baby killing, neo Sodom Gomorrah, LGBTQ+ promoting, Hell bound, "One nation under Satan"!

Forgetting that baby Jesus came to die and save us from Hell if, you're John 3:16 compliant?

Ste4ve,

The majority of human beings adhere too, and are now being called upon to show by their actions their appreciation of the positive gifts they have been given.!

Have a wonderful and peaceful time during this magic period of the ending year and make 2026 the best 1-year ever (2+0+2+6=10=1+0=1). The first year of a new cycle, a moment when we can set our inner compass consciously to new unlimited possibilities.

"The light of consciousness is all that's needed. You are the light." (Eckhart Tolle)

Thank you for shining light even in pitch black situations. Without this darkness, of course, we wouldn't know what light is and perhaps we wouldn't be part of a worldwide transformation movement. 🙏🧬💞🐦‍🔥♾️

Your leaving-behind-2024 mentions need updating to 2025. But lovely thoughts in any year.

I miss my dad and mom, long ago they left for Heaven. I see next year will be worse than this one, I pray not. Im sorry I don't have an uplifting comment to make but it's hard when all you see is evil thats taken over. I know God is in my life and He protects me, I will continue to pray daily and wait for His return to send all the evil demons back to hell where they belong. Merry Christmas and thanks for the beautiful post.

Evidently this is a reprint of an article that was written last December, since it says more than once that we are leaving 2024 behind and entering into 2026. Hmm - was 2025 so bad that the author wants to skip it altogether? I can't really blame him/her for that sentiment, but it would possibly behoove all authors to re-read their missives to eliminate such silly mistakes. Other than that, I think this is a lovely piece, and look forward to it being published again next December (as I'm sure it will be). Hopefully next time the dates will be adjusted correctly.

Merry Christmas to all, and a happy and healthy 2026.

Ha ha Thank you Nicky! Merry Christmas! Typo is fixed!

Unfortunately where I live in the country, lighter days mean more idiots are out shooting their guns for fun and doing fireworks because they do not care about the laws. I hate longer days and actually am one of the few people that like the darker days.

Interest of Justice,

Positive thoughts to you and try to rest up over Christmas period, as its going to be a very busy 2026.

I have just finished listening to and singing with a recording of The Messiah. Sang with my Chorale group every Year, and have not been with my Chorale group for over 15 years - not by my design - but today I really started to learn the fullness of the meaning of this glorious piece of music.

Singing those words are so potent now, especially in these times. The who òpiece but esp., the Hallelujah Chorus brings that home. This wonderful composition by Handel and executed by am full Orchestra and joyous Singers brings home that Handel and Nations have faced adversity of major proportions before today, but further achieved so much after their tests and actions they took....

Health and the most postive of achievements are sent to ALL and especially IOJ.

Why do you keep mentioning 2024? We're leaving 2025 behind.

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

For some reason I thought December 25th is the day we get more daylight.

And the three day's before that are symbolic of Jesus Christ being in the cave for three days.

December 21st is the longest night and then the day comes back! Merry Christmas!
