CHRISTMAS WITH HOPE IN OUR HEARTS


Each year ends with the celebration of Christmas. The master of all celebrations. Whether one is rich or poor, black or white, young or young at heart you always anticipate Christmas season. Christmas is not just for children. It is for all humankind. Whether one is materially affluent or in the hovel of poverty is not requisite in experiencing the equal blessing the season brings, embodied in the four-letter word HOPE.

Hope encourages us to look at the brilliant side of life. Broken relationships, pressures in school or work, how to pay tuition fees and bills, conflicts with friends and love ones are among the many problems confronting the most of us today. Hope however, invites us to focus our aspiration to the bright reality that in Christ there is a promised bliss in God’s tomorrow.
From the time when I matured, when the time came that I learned that Christmas is not just all about gifts and firecrackers. When I realized that, this season is not really about candies and chocolates. At the point were I realized that Santa Clause is not real, in opposition to what every kid believes, my fantasy about Christmas brought to an end. Since then, no Christmas is that Happy anymore. However, I guess this year’s Christmas is I think better than ever since that view of mine about Christmas begun.

Please look at our pictures as we celebrated Christmas with HOPE in our HEARTS despite life’s vast tests.
