Don't they know its Christmas?

What is Christmas..
this could be easily one of the most talked about topic over this period, but it interesting to hear from each and every one person, thru their own circumstances, in the midst of daily struggles...

Christmas.. has and had always been a time for me to be with my family. A time spent for the the people I still see everyday, people that I love dearly.. to slow things down.. and simply just be .. family.

Fancy meals or not, that isn't important. Its more important for a family of 6 to squeeze in a small Nissian Sunny, to talk about this year, to encourage each other. To let each one know, "hey... I care."

In a couple of hours, we're going to have our family Christmas dinner. Feels great to have everyone sitting around, eating and drinking.. but I don't think that will be the most memorable time for me this Christmas. For me, this year, would be when, all 6 of us, serving our home church, Queenstown Lutheran Church. To sum it up, we were basically doing what Joshua said;"As for me and my household, I'll serve the Lord." Each one of us, were doing our bit to serve, God's kingdom..God's people.

That's what Christmas is for me this year. Service in God's kingdom..as a family.

Presents wise, I'm really fortunate, to have enough to buy presents for my siblings.. The presents that they would really want to have. So to be given a chance to bless them with it, was a blessing itself. N yeah, its going to be cheap food and travel for the next few weeks, but I would always rather give a gift that would cost something, rather than a gift of no value.

Hmm, last but not least.. well, winning the bowling competition wasn't ... Well, to win seemed good. Thank God that my arm recovered in time. And we had good fun winning it in style. But, I would like to dedicate the win..

to.. my 'lost' family.

To you and all..

Cheers. Treasure .god's giftings always..
