2016 is coming to a close; many things we've had to
overcome in this year. Disappointments, sickness, transitioning of love ones
and friends. There's been pain and joy. However, in this moment I would like to
address the soul in each of us. That very special part of you; it is what
connects us all here on earth. It teaches us to love each other, to show each
other kindness.
The soul doesn't have a color or sex. It helps us to feel
when a love one is no longer here with us, and reminds us why they were and how
they touched our lives for the better.
I'm simply asking that each of my friends and my
family to be gentle with yourself as we approach this holiday season. Be kind
and gentle to your soul; others will take notice. Look around and see the
beauty of this planet that was created for you.
Notice the air in your body, and a trees that has
changed. Feel your heart beating, knowing that others hearts are beating as
well. You may have to forgive someone who has injured you. Ask God to turn your
worries into faith. Your despair into hope. Your sadness into joy.
It is because of God's love and kindness for each soul;
no matter how 2016 is remembered each soul can give thanks.
Love and kindness to your soul,
Mr. Terence Efrem Gray Sr.
