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!

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!
