Christmas is fast approaching! Do you still remember those times when we run and leave out for cookies and milk for Santa as he visits us at night? It's funny to look back at those times we hang socks at the door for goodies. It's really really fun to be young and carefree during Christmas.
The birth of Christ, unlike any other baby, the one born that night in Bethlehem was unique in all of history. He was not created by a human father and mother. He had a heavenly pre-existence, He is God, the Son, Creator of the universe. his is why Christmas is called the incarnation, a word which means "in the flesh". Through the birth of Christ we were poured out with miracles. Have you noticed how families get together after years and years of distance and separation? How a person easily forgives and forgets? Christmas is the answer. However, it can be stated that for the many joyous family celebrations where poverty is not a factor, there are still many where poverty is felt at Christmas and where families despair that there is not even money to give their children basic necessities as Christmas gifts. But it is in sacrificing that it can help other people find pace on their hearts and minds. We are called to humble ourselves and sacrifice for others. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Yes we forgive but forget? I believe that is not an easy thing to do when someone had done some serious offense to you.
ReplyDeletePoverty can never be a reason not to celebrate Christmas for Christmas is what we put in our hearts.
