What Does Christmas Mean To You?

What does Christmas mean to you?

The quality of a tree is seen in its fruits...but without the planting of a seed, they would be no tree and thus, no fruit... Christmas is the seed planting day...The day Jesus was born into the world, the start of the tree of life, a life free of sin and death and so, Christmas for me its a reminder of the gift of Salvation. The day Christ was born, the day The Word became flesh. The beginning of the end of the rule of sin. The physical expression of the Love of God to humanity.

What does Christmas mean to you?
To me, it means

I'm trying to find my Christmas Spirit, I Don't know where it ran to.

I don't feel Christmas. I KNOW tomorrow is Christmas but I don't feel it.

The yuletide season is pronounced everywhere - On Tv, on the Internet (just check Google's doodle, tweets and facebook walls), in public places (I was at the bank yesterday and too many people were on Christmas caps/hats) and in my house (Mum is receiving chickens and drinks anyhow - The woman keeps laughing, reciting in my ear that 'A good name is better than riches and It's not easy to be a senior citizen' as if na she first retire

Ts DECEMBER.....Process, Patience and Paths

Its a great day yea? Its the first day of the last month of the year and I can't help but be thankful for God's mercies and grace. 2014 is coming to its end and I'm witness to it, not because of how I am but because of whose I am. Because my Father has counted me worthy to be alive.

As I kept thinking of how great it feels to see December 2014, I couldn't help but remember those who didnt get here. Those people who died a couple of hours/days/weeks before December 1st. Its sad and I pray most earnestly that majority of such would have had Jesus in their heart because at the end of our temporal existence on earth, the only factor that would count as regards where we spend eternity is having or not having Jesus in our hearts and what would count in the lives of those we leave behind is not how much money we had/how successful we were or how often we had

CHRISTMAS AT THE DOOR

I was sad I had no shoes until I saw a man with no legs.

Like play like play, December will soon reach. Like say na joke, Christmas is one month away, 2015 is around the corner. Whilst trying to meet my checklist for 2014 ASAP so I can actually have a playful, work free Christmas, I'm reminded of those who don't have the opportunities I have, who can't flex and have fun like I can.
Its 1am and I'm thinking of those families who may not be able to cook Christmas rice, those kids who don't know what it feels like to have christmas dress and I'm thankful for how God has blessed me.

A lot of times, we take those little things like water, air, food, and shelter for granted. We are so used to having them around that we forget these are the basic necessities that make life worth living.

I remember been close to dehydration at a point on friday and immediately I got a sachet of water, I unconsciously let out a deep sigh that was followed by 'Lord thank you for water'
