Humbling Holiday Story

It is Christmas morning. The scene is a rich family’s big house where a little boy is starting to open his presents. Nothing he finds is quite right. The sled is too small and the toy train doesn’t have enough cars. The games are not the right kind, and so it goes. Nothing suits him.

Out in the back the stable boy wakes in the hayloft of the barn and looks around, hoping to see a toy or two. Seeing nothing, he scrambles down the ladder to the stables below. The only things in sight are piles of manure.

Gleefully, the boy claps his hands and cries, “Wow! There must be a pony here someplace!”

This story is used in “Adventures in Attitudes” an empowering professional development workshop which has inspired people throughout the world to make positive choices in life…at work and at home.

I chose to share it with you this month to help keep a perspective on the real joys of the holiday season. Life is full of choices. You can get caught up in the presents instead of the presence of your family and friends. You can see nothing but problems or be inspired with opportunities. You can give excuses or find reasons. You can take or you can give. You can complain or you can share a compliment. You can say “No” or “Yes!” It is in your perspective that you will find true happiness and peace…in anything, anyone or anywhere!

May your heart be humbled to appreciate the real gifts of the holiday season - Faith, Hope and Love

Your friendship is the best gift you could ever give to us…therefore we give it right back to you and wish you and your family the very best for the holiday and New Year!

May you and your family appreciate the real gifts of the holiday season: Faith, Hope and Love
