Aloha e Kahalu’u ‘Ohana…
Living on Kamehameha Highway has its challenges. For us, this means KC gets creative when setting up our Christmas inflatables. Living without a front yard means they’re put on the roof…and are now more susceptible to the elements. Throughout this week, I noticed that whenever strong wind pushed our 10 year old Santa too far backwards, his aged motor wasn’t strong enough for him to right himself without some help. And by help that meant me on my tippy toes poking at him with Grandma’s rake. I know KC will fix this. Our kids AND Grandma really enjoy the outside decorations. But until this windy/rainy weather passes, we’ll continue to “poke“ Santa now and again.
Lately, I’ve felt like my Santa inflatable. I’d start off with things going the way I planned…I’ve got a positive attitude, a smile, and I'm there for everyone that passes by. But then I get knocked down…kids catch a cold, ugly weather cancels my walk with Shae, my to-do list is unfinished. I’m sure you all experience this from time to time and the “wind” can seem overwhelming, sometimes even relentless.
We never truly know what others are going through. Because of this, Elder Marcus B. Nash of the Seventy reminds us that, “We can hold up His light by doing what He did: to love God and love our neighbor by lifting up those who are down, helping fulfill the needs of those in want, and comforting those who hurt.” Usually I can right myself, but more often than not it’s a little “poke” that helps me get back up (thank you friends and family). During this holiday season, I hope we ALL can be that light, that “poke” which helps another.
Take care, Kyra Chun
