With Christmas just around the corner, I have been thinking about faith. Faith in family, faith in friends, faith in Jesus, faith in the safety of our cars, faith in the lasting power of deodorant, faith in Santa Claus... This is the season of faith.
Faith is one of those intangible ideas you can't quite describe. Believing in something you can not see. Trusting in someone without proof. Facts are the head and faith is the heart. Faith has always been a challenging thing for me. How do you believe in something you can not touch, taste, or see? My logical mind does not know how to process the idea, but as I try and get better at listening to my heart, I realize how important faith is.
I think the world would be a better place if we all had more faith. I don't think it needs to be faith in one deity, or faith in a specific person, or faith in a particular thing. I think the act of having faith is as beneficial as what that faith is directed to.
This holiday season, whether you have faith in yourself, God, your mother-in-law, or your bundt cake: have faith.
