| Just wanted to share
I go this as a email today and wanted to share it Subject: Happy Holidays Shipmates: You've all done a magnificent job both on & off the job, often working through both personal & professional adversity. BZ! Take care of each other & your troops. We wish the very best to all of you in the New Year...you've certainly earned it. Forwarded with my sincere respect for you, your crews & staff...Merry Christmas & Happy New year! A new look at Corinthians below for your consideration: If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls, but do not show love to my family, I'm just another decorator. If I slave away in the kitchen, baking dozens of Christmas cookies, preparing gourmet meals and arranging a beautifully adorned table at mealtime, but do not show love to my family, I'm just another cook. If I work at the soup kitchen, carol in the nursing home and give all that I have to charity, but do not show love to my family, it profits me nothing. If I trim the spruce with shimmering angels and crocheted snowflakes, attend a myriad of holiday parties and sing in the choir's cantata but do not focus on the family, I have missed the point. Love stops the cooking to hug the child. Love sets aside the decorating to kiss the spouse. Love is kind, though harried and tired. Love doesn't envy another's home that has coordinated Christmas china and table linens. Love doesn't yell at the kids to get out of the way. Love doesn't give only to those who are able to give in return but rejoices in giving to those who can't. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. Video games will break, pearl necklaces will be lost, golf clubs will rust. But giving the gift of LOVE will endure. May you have a blessed & peaceful Christmas & Holiday season.....and a well deserved prosperous New year! Rear Admiral Tim Sullivan Commander First Coast Guard District |
