Blessed Christmas 2008 :)

Went for a surprise birthday party cum Christmas Eve party yesterday! Had a great time, eating, having fun, exchanging presents etc :)

This year, I particularly enjoy the process of receiving and shopping for little gifts. The process of getting a little gift for a loved one is a sweet one.. :p I am not a 'gifts' sort of person, but I guess this year, I have learnt to pick up the love language of "giving gifts".

But why do we give one another gifts? Why is this season known as a "season of giving"? Because our loving Heavenly Father gave us the GREATEST GIFT OF ALL - OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Went for a Christmas service this morning by myself...cos I wanted to pause from all the partying and busyness etc...and truly ponder over the true meaning of Christmas. Singing all the classic Christmas hymns, "Silent Night, Holy Night", "Joy to the Word", "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", "O Come All Ye Faithful"...it was truly enjoyable.

The speaker shared this message which really touched my heart, "A Three-in-One gift"...

Jesus is our LIGHT in our DARKNESS.

Jesus is our LIVING WATER in our DESERTPLACE.

Jesus is our SHELTER in our STORMS.

Are you similarly touched by our Lord's great love this Christmas? He came to bear our sins on the Cross, so that you and I may walk with Him eternally.

Blessed Christmas my dear friends!
