Some tots on Christmas Eve

I read some of my frens blogs.. and see that on JY and Minmin's one, that there was a common theme of being grateful, of being aware of what God has done in their lives over the one year.

I think it is a virtue i really need to adopt- being truly grateful.

As i reflect on the meaning of Christmas, i am grateful that God has sent His Son, Jesus as a living sacrifice for all of us. What i admire more about Jesus is that He was never a whiner, never someone who was depressed, never was someone who bowed down to authorities of this earth.
For Someone who knew that He was coming here to die by one of the most terrible means in the ancient world, how can He not be depressed? The Bible descibes Jesus as " a man of sorrows" but yet, He did not ever imposed them on his disciples.

He never did whine abt the kind of death he was to suffer, which if i were in his shoes, i wld probably told the whole world abt it.

Christmas is my favourite festive holiday in the whole year, bcos there is always this silent simplicity on this special day. though many might be busy with Christmas shopping and all, but there is a serene peace that is associated with this day...

I went to church today.. and the christmas service was good..
though it was done in a traditional style where we kept standing up and sitting down..
but we sang carols and traditional songs...

I would wan to share one song that i love very much...
The name of the song is "Mary did you know?"

Mary, did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby you've kissed the face of God.

The blind will see The deaf will hear
The dead will live again The lame will leap
The dumb will speak The praises of The Lamb

Mary, did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the Great I Am.
