Thoughts to guide us by (For December 2014)
The advent of the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior, rekindles faith, love and hope in our hearts. It inexplicably evokes kindness and touches our hearts to be generous. A season of joy and hope that makes everyone happy … albeit, momentarily.
His lowly-humble birth in a manger imparts to us that all-encompassing timely message — in the midst of dizzying merriment and frenetic exchange of gifts — that humility comes with simplicity!
Christmas is the season for widespread-easier-and-wholehearted sharing, giving and forgiving. Giving comes in many varied ways. It is not limited to doling material blessings, but also in sharing ideas, giving advices, genuine concern, extending plain, true friendship, and rendering voluntary services.
Loving is giving! There cannot be love without giving! Giving is two-pronged. As William Shakespeare wrote: “It blesses him who gives, and him who receives.”
Christmas is a time to give thanks for the blessings received, for the trials that helped shaped, strengthened and molded us to be better persons. A time for hopes renewed that a better year looms in the horizon!
A Blessed, Merry Christmas to everyone!
Peace and abundance to us all!
