The Remembrance of Christmas

It's Beginning to look alot like christmas, there are christmas decoration everywhere.

It's Beginning to look alot like christmas, there are toys everywhere.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Everywhere you goThere's a tree in the Grand Hotel,
one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.

This is the environment of christmas, everyone has been busy doing shopping in the Malls, preparing plans for vacation, decorating their christmas tree, writting christmas cards, singing christmas carols, preparing christmas dinner... but do their really understand the meaning of christmas?

Christmas is not about holiday, santa and gifts. Christmas is a day for us to remember a king that was born in christmas day. He was the savier to those who were suffer, he will be keep searching his lost lambs till everyone has been found and safely return to his father's garden. He had been tortured because of our sins. He was killed to save our life yet he was able to defeat death where he was resurrected 3 days later. Till today, he is around us willingly to give everyone a fruitful life. He comes to serve us, to protect us, to comfort us, to guide us, so that we will belove again by god. He helps us to repent so that our sins will be removed. He comes to educate us there is only one god and nobody else would love us as much as god love us. God love us so much that he let his only son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. This christmas we should celebrate with purpose, we should celebrate together with the birthday-boy, to thanks him for answering to our cries and sorrowness. Be grateful and thoughtful during Christmas, because of Jesus Christ.

Time to remember my birthday

Dear all,

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated.

During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer.
It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me.

As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration.

Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration. I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods,
pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates.

The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited. I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me an invitation.

The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face .. and I wanted to be with them and share their table. In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all close their doors to me.

Since I wasn't invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a grand time.

To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him, saying: "Santa Claus, Santa Claus" as if the party were in his honor! At midnight all the people began to hug each other; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and do you know no-one hugged me.

Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me. What would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one? I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left.

Every year it gets worse. People only remember the gifts, the parties, to eat and drink, and nobody remembers me. I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life. I would like that you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years ago I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you.

Today, I only want that you believe this with all your heart. I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one has ever imagined, a spectacular party.

I'm still making the final arrangements. Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book.

Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party. Those who don't answer the invite, will be left outside. Be prepared because when all is ready you will be part of my great party.


See you soon. I Love you!
Jesus

Flashback Christmas 2004

It is the second day of december 2005. Time flown like the spring bliss, you'll never noticed it has flown pass you as you were still enjoying the happy moment. This december has brought up the christmas ghost within, literaly it has bring back the memory of last christmas to me.

update 22/12/2005

3 more days before christmas 2005, I felt calm and peace within myself. My mind keep telling me what I gonna do in this christmas??? Seriously, I have no physical answer for that. For my own greed, I wish that I could celebrate the christmas with the girl who I loved. All of the sudden, I begin to questioned myself -> What I had done in last christmas???

My monitor has become my little TV box, all it shows was the flashback of my last christmas...

The story begins like this...

2004 was a tough yet blessed year. Most of the difficulties were came from my job. It was not as easy as I thought to be a Team Leader and I was given responsible to take care 2 of the crucial systems in my job. The next due date was coming, yet there were still lotsa need to be done. However, I was happy that the my team was helpful and commited to make what was difficult to easy. Many thanks to them (eventhough some of them are not in my team anymore, anyway I wish them have a better opportunity in elsewhere).

At a careful thought, 2004 wasn't a bad year to me after all :) why?

1) I got a new car.

2) I have an angel to celebrate christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner. I'm looking forward this year christmas, to have more merry and intimate time with her :)

Want to know more about my great time of Christmas 2004? To be continue...
