Blessed Christmas
I know that Christmas already over but just want to wish those that I didn't wish a Blessed Christmas!Anyway, this christmas whizzed past very fast. I was busy with work, rehearsals, attending wedding dinners, christmas lunches/dinners. Everyday was so "fulfilling" that I didn't have time for Him. However it was through every rehearsal and actual production of the Father's love that God spoke to me with regards to many things.
Remember the previous post whereby I was really tired and wanted to find the joy? Guess what, Doris no longer has to be given away coz she somehow tamed a little. The problems that I've been facing at P** seem to be resolved (at least for this month). Praise God!
Christmas is so overly commercialised that it becomes a time whereby orchard road is the forbidden ground to go during the weekends UNLESS you don't mind the long queues, congestions and traffic jams (I hate those). People are just buying presents for the sake of buying presents because it would be "bad" if you didn't get them one and in many places you can find slogans that say "it's the season of giving; blessed to give than to receive; etc". Because of the numerous sales (& savings you can saved up to) and year end bonus that many wouldn't feel the pinch or it's a one a year kind of thing. Imagine the amount of money chalked into presents, christmas lunches/dinners, turkeys & logcakes (somemore prices of most items have increased during these few months), this definitely help give a final boost to the economy.
This isn't what Christmas is all about right? Christmas is all about God, about Jesus that over 2000years ago, an angel appeared to virgin Mary and said that God has chosen her and she would have a virgin birth and shall name him Jesus. Christmas was the day when baby Jesus was born in a manger. Jesus lived as a man for 33years before he was crucified for our sins. In the bible, John 3: 16 says "For God so loved the world (you and me), that He gave (sacrificially)His one and only beloved son that whoever believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Think about it.

Actually I think we still can be thankful for Christmas being commercialised. It seems to me that it's the only "religious festival" that is widely celebrated. When people get used to celebrating Christmas, they may also be touched by God during the season.
I myself received Christ after hearing God at a Christmas musical.
