Christmas…a period of joy. Joy arising from many causes. We. rejoice because we were fortunate to make it to the end of the year… some of our friends were not so fortunate. We rejoice because we are able to re-unite with family members and thus re-establish ties almost severed by distance. We rejoice because for a period of time,as brief as it may seem, we can disengage from our daily hectic schedule and relax, indulging ourselves some pleasure and fun. We rejoice because for the upteenth time,God has again visited His people in the form of a small babe. Whether we recognise this babe or not, we still rejoice in obedience to the angelic injunction,’Joy to the world!’
Christmas…a period of celebration. We celebrate a lot of things during this period: New marriages, naming ceremonies, silver and golden jubilees of existing marriages…many,many things. We celebrate life. And we end the season with the most important celebration:Celebration of the New Year!
Christmas…a period of love. We open our hearts to love and show love to all around us. We love practically.With solid deeds. Feeding the hungry around us. Clothing the naked. Visiting the sick and the prisoners. Allowing the ray of love and the warmth of the sun reach the less-privileged and planting a smile on every face we see. We love and we are loved.
Christmas…a period of peace. We extend a hand of friendship to our enemies. We embrace people that have hurt us.We forgive. We try to forget. We embrace peace. And we are healed.
Christmas… Joy. Celebration. Love. Peace. Flow with spirit of the season. Be happy. Be free.
