My Christmas Special

 

It is so hard to believe that Saturday is Christmas Day. Time not only goes fast these days. For me, it goes with warp speed.

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ, the king of all kings. Christ is the center of Christianity, He is our savior. He gives his own life for us to be saved. And we are now celebrating his birthday.

The Christmas Eve glow that I feel each year is becoming more and more prominent each day we move closer now. I may be a sap but I TRULY wish for peace on Earth and good will to all men; though I know this is probably something all of us want.

Christmas is a great time of giving and sharing. Now I’m with my family, and we will celebrate our Christmas together. 10 minutes to go its Christmas. I’m thinking what I will receive later. I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it. I want new clothes and gadgets…but it doesn’t matter whether I get the gifts that I want. What’s essential is that we get to spend Christmas with our family and the people we love, that’s the true spirit of Christmas. But, it seems that there’s still something missing in me… I still remember the day when my father passed away; 17 years ago… he died of cancer, there I was in the hospital being innocent and all of what was happening. My mom and family were in the midst of losing my dad and I didn’t know anything at that time. It was Christmas Eve when my dad died. Sad. * I wanna spend my Christmas with him, I really miss him…

Today is now and it is Christmas week. Perhaps I can put the ghost or ghosts of the past by the wayside for now and just concentrate on our newborn king, the lord of lords and the priest of priests, Jesus. I believe He was 100 percent human at one time and though there is nothing to tell us if He feared the past or future, I like to think that even He wrestled with uncertainty and fear.

Perhaps If I just keep my eyes on Him, everything will be just fine.
