Indiana Cabin Rentals

 

I recently saw this posted quote on a friends face book page and it struck a chord.  I could so relate and know that others can too.  Perhaps the older you get the more meaning this quote might mean.  Christmas has a way of taking you back in time, thought and feelings.  It brings forth all your past Christmas memories especially those perceived through the innocence of your childhood eye's or the fondest times of all in your past Christmas experiences and memories.  What can truly compete with a memory if you decide it was the best ever?  I believe ones life can be very fulfilled and feel no remiss during the year yet who amongst us at some time doesn't have a longing for a simpler life of being a child or  what they recalled that really brought them love, peace and joy?  There are very few people that live with the spirit of Christmas in their hearts 364 days a year... yet when we hear a Christmas carol being sung, or watch a Christmas movie we yearn and focus on those scared moments in our life with loved ones that really matter. 

 

Christmas can be very magical as our hearts shift to miracles, faith and gifts of all kinds. During the holiday season we pause to honor things of true meaning including our past and often this call of loneliness we hear is just a ghost whisper from the past.   Christmas transforms our thinking to giving and honoring love.  As years past things change, families do grow up, families can move apart, relationships may fail and break apart, we lose loved ones to passing, perhaps don't stay connected as we want to with dear friends, we grow older and shift our likes and dislikes, and we live daily with grown up responsibilities. Life is ever constantly changing and yet time can have it's way of standing still in our mind during the holiday season. Christmas takes us back to our beginnings. A special day where we can't help but feel the "Spirit of Christmas" and the importance of love, loved ones, and the childhood that formed us.  We realize we can't go back, and take stock of who and what we are today in gratitude for all those experiences that bring us to yet another Christmas Day. 

 

Yes, many of us will feel a nagging ache and longing for that which was was and for those things, people, places and memories we rarely recall throughout the year.  I think it is part of the tapestry of life and perhaps Christmas makes us more conscious  in honoring the past and then reflecting on our current blessings that have been bestowed upon us in our life journey. 

 

PS:  Our Lakefront Cabin Rentals located in the Epworth Forest area in North Webster, Indiana has been creating family memories and Christmas traditions since the mid 1950's. 
This Winter Cabin Rental has such a long history of family memories throughout  the year.  Our Northern Indiana Cabin Rentals was built out of love by Rev. LG Sapp & Emily Sapp. We hope you will reserve some time in 2010 to spend time at our log cabin and make family memories that will last forever.
