Heart of Christmas

As you all know, Christmas is just about a week a way,

Busy streets, Packed Malls, Fancy Trees and Lights.

But not much caroling this time round, in fact it's been years since

I last heard heart warming chorales from anywhere, maybe it's just me .

But on the bright side, many churches are preparing to bring out the best of Christmas,

And that of course includes our church's very own:

So if you have nothing up on your calendar this 21 and 22nd , come along and witness this awesome musical that the members of Praise City Church has been working hard for months!

You can go to the event page here .

Youngsters are definitely psyched for Christmas as much as the adults are,

Imagine all the presents and parties that's coming their way, it's gonna be heaps of fun,

But amidst all the extra sugar we're getting from this occasion, let's not forget the 

true meaning of Christmas, of how God sent his one and begotten son Jesus,

to save mankind, to save us.

To save you and I 

And erase the mess we left behind.

Something called forgiveness out of love.

Just yesterday,I read a novel about a dying father whose Christmas wish was to be with his family

and to mend the strained relationship he has with his teenage daughter.I bet you guys can guess how the ending is like? No worries, it ended good .

After that while scrolling my social news feed I realised that a friend's mother of mine

passed away due to some illness. He wasn't by her side during the passing as he was abroad.

Then it hit me that time isn't always there to be taken for granted, that I should spend more time with my loved ones while I can.

Youngsters these days tend to have more emotional outbreaks,

And sometimes, we just say things that we shouldn't have said in front of our parents or relatives,

Now I'm not saying that i'm not included in this, I have my moments too!

But to bring it down, neither sides of the family would feel happy about it, and neither will you.

So let's also remember our families and relatives this coming Christmas.

Let's share the joy with them besides keeping it among our friends.

Let's learn how to forgive each other of the past and start living in the future.

And for those family members and relatives that has yet to know the about Jesus,

Let's learn how to love them even more, like how God has loved us despite our shortcomings.

As I bring a close to this post, 

Here's a song I'd like to share,

Have a blessed Christmas everyone!

If only it'd snow

Weee... It's the first post for PCC Youth X-treme blog and I'm the first to get my words here. Anyway, I've never been a person to speak my mind with blogs. Never had one my whole life. But oh well, there's a first for everything. I guess I'll get to work on my words, language and all (somehow, the brain juice is not flowing too well in terms of creativity with words... must be the engineering nerd infection) 

... and am still trying to familiarize myself with all the blog-related-setting-thingys (wonder how do I change this layout, hmmm...so empty le the look...) White... makes one think of snow...

Speaking of which... It's December already! Feels kinda cold too, if only we had four seasons here in Malaysia. Youth service for this year ended in November, what with all the activities and practices we're going to have for our Christmas musical - The Red Shoes. I think it's going to be way awesome-er than last year's... what with more youths in the show itself.

oh oh oh! Yea, pictures... almost forgotten about them. (I think most nice blogs have like a couple of nice pics in them, which is what makes them nice) Alright, then here are just some from the latest youth activity we had in conjunction with the building fund we're having. We took over the cafeteria for that one week to show off our culinary skills to the mums, dads, uncles and aunties and may I say so that we've done a prettehhh good job at it? Bon apetite :)

Served with a sprinkle of classiness

Ooopss.. hope that wasn't for me

 

No la.. It's TWOBUCKS coffee

That is one happy meal :)

It was kinda fun, playing masak masak... only that we need to put a more convincing chef-like look when people say, "HAR, the youth are cooking ah? YES AH?"    Yes, aunty it is us the youth. And yes, we can cook (well, some of us can). Either way, with your kind support (and a little less salt and more tender love in our scrambled eggs) I assure you that ALL OF US will be as good as Jamie Oliver. Rite mate?
