@HomewithDean – Homily 12/10

Why do I always encourage you to get out there and build yourself a beautiful life?Because I know you can.Because I know you possess what it takes to become a maker.It’s in your nature. It is your nature.That’s what it means to be human.And if you think by making I mean building a house or doing arts and crafts, you’re missing my point.There’s something about being human that somehow gives us the power to choose. And with that we can choose to make something for ourselves and of ourselves.We can make the most of the moment.We make merry.We make love.We make dinner.We make our bed.We make ourselves comfortable.We make others feel special.We make the most of what we have.We make do.We make plans.We make hay while the sun is shining.And this time of year we have the opportunity to make the Yule Tide gay.So, this is what I think I know … don’t wait for the magic, make the magic. I promise you it’s out there waiting for you.So get out there and make something happen. It’s the best way I know to build yourself a beautiful life.
