MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR

I've had one of the busiest christmas ever. and it was good. Thank God for my sister's boldness to rededicate her life to Jesus, coming back to him again. It was the best thing and the best christmas gift i could ever asked for :)

christmas luncheon with the yiweiclan.
CCC christmas reflection production.
christmas dinner at relatives'.

That was my day. but of course, the moment i woke up. i didnt forget to wish the BIRTHDAY BOY A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY =) He's the best :D

I've been reading "God came near" by max lucado. it's awesome. so many of us needed to have a divine surgery to have our eyelids cut open to see Jesus. we passed by so many things that reflect His glory and majesty. Yet, we failed to see His hands upon it. i shall copy this paragraph that i read today. it's so beautifully true.

"The world was different this week. It was temporarily transformed. The magical dust of christmas glittered on the cheeks of humanity ever so briefly, reminding us of what is worth having and what we were intended to be. WE forgot our compulsion with winning, wooing and warring. We put away our ladders and ledgers, we hung up our stop watches and weapons. We stepped out off our race tracks and roller coasters and looked outward toward the star of Bethlehem.

It's the season to be jolly because, more than any other time, we think of him. More than in any other season, his name is on our lips. All of a sudden, he's everywhere.

Emmanuel. God with is. He is with us. God came near.

... If he can do so much wit hsuch timid prayers lamely offered in December, how much more would and could he do if we thought of him everyday?"


perhaps, you've heard that Jesus is the reason for the season.
what does it mean?
what is Christmas to you?
Personally, i think Christmas is just the mark of something amazing - when God from His majestic throne came down in human form, out of love. it's the birth of a King. The King of kings. and it doesnt end here.
He heals.
He delivers.
He redeems.
He cares.

and it doesnt stop just on Christmas day. everyday should be Jesus-day. seriously, who can have too much love?
