ADVENT
we're into the second week of Advent. And for those who dont know what advent is, it is the 4 weeks before Christmas... so it is a time of preparation for the birth of our Christ :)
so yes, we're now just 3 weeks to christmas!
these days, these generations, Christmas has become such good opportunity for all sorts of marketing gimmicks and the best season for shopping for gifts, clothes whatever. many discounts everywhere... it's now so commercialized.
but stop, and think. is Christmas really about shopping, eating turkey, and drinking wine and popping champagne?
Where is JESUS when He should be the focus of this special day to come? It's HIS birthday afterall!
No doubt, Christmas is a season of love, joy, and giving. Because God LOVES us so much, he GIVES us not only Jesus, but also everything good which we now have and enjoy, and that includes JOY in our lives!
So remember, Christmas is not so much about finding the perfect presents for your loved ones, or about celebrations and hearty meals... but more about sharing and giving THE PERFECT LOVE, especially to those who dont already know Jesus. It is also a time to unwrap ALL the gifts our loving dad up there has given us all through the year... and to use them wisely of cos :)
But yes, i have to admit, i love love love love receiving presents, and having to unwrap them! and i love all things pretty and sweet. heee. and i wish i have a christmas tree at home to dress up with lights and colorful balls and stars...
Christmas is just about my most favorite occasion all year round, besides my birthday.
Christmas songs are on my playlist this month!
