This month, I heard three different people talk about
December, they all said the same thing:, oh my “its December, an expensive
month”. This caught my attention, why is it that people are talking about an
expensive month instead of being happy that it is almost Christmas. We give
each other presents but do we really know the essence of Christmas?. Jesus
himself said, “love thy neighbor as thyself”.
Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. A time
for us to understand the lessons from Jesus & reflect on them. Jesus
brought a new religion based on love & the vision of a God who is full of
compassion & forgiveness; a vision of doing everything with a positive
mindset & from a place of love.
In today’s day and time, it is easy to lose sight of the
true meaning of Christmas. Enjoy the delicious meals, sweet drinks, lovely
songs & dances, beautiful friends & family members we would come across
this season, let’s try not to forget about the child, born on a winter night so
cold, whose bed was made only of hay & animal food; our lord Jesus Christ,
who taught us all what real, genuine & unconditional love is. As we
celebrate the birth of our savior, let’s be human & kind enough to
remember & show some love to those motherless babies, helpless orphans,
hospital patients, prisoners, beggars & all those who are not fortunate
enough to be actively involved in the celebration of the birth of our lord and
savior Jesus Christ.
