Sunday Reflection: Little Things Change The World

The story of my faith features a baby who came into the world to change it as a grownup. So with that being said little things have great power to impact the lives of us all. I can’t help but think that humility, kindness, peace, and grace are little things on their own but together they can make a difference. If everyone did their part we would live in a world that would be so much better than what we live in now. Truly it’s the little things that count the most. I find genuine actions don’t come from grand gestures but from those good deeds done daily where we see the most beautiful. Seek those opportunities to do what you can when you can as much as you can.

Just a reminder that Christmas is a wonderful season, not just one day. The journey is more fun than the destination.

Happy Kwanzaa To All #Kwanzaa

Kwanzaa is a secular festival observed by many African Americans from December 26 to January 1 as a celebration of their cultural heritage and traditional values.

To all my friends celebrating may this be a day of peace, celebrations and love. May all humanity have the spirit of this day.

Happy Boxing Day, December 26th #boxingday

Merry Christmas Dear Friends

Dear Friends,

I wish you all a Merry Christmas. Today looks different for many of us. Having yourself a merry little Christmas is the order of the day. As you celebrate be mindful of those struggling and suffering. It is also OK to leave up your decorations past New Year because we need brightness and beauty to illuminate our world. No matter what your day looks like may it be one of peace, love and grace. Also, wear your masks for all of us.

With Love and Peace On Earth

Your friend, Tony

The Gift Of Life

I donated blood today because it seemed like a good thing to do for those who are in need. This was just one way to help my community. Also since I work for the blood bank I can say I have done what I ask others to do.

I Miss You Dad

I miss you dad so much this time of year. I bet you are having a blast being in the heavens and the stars. I love you so much. Merry Christmas, dad.
