I thought that the Christmas holidays were joy-filled due to planning and having the "perfect" holidays with family and friends. But only after i need to be hospitalize during this Christmas I found that the holidays purest joy is only found in God.
Christmas isn't primarily about spending time with loved ones, decorating our trees and homes, singing Christmas carols, baking, or watching Christmas specials on TV...Christmas in the purest form is about our Savior who left the glory of Heaven so that He could become human to save our very souls...just so He could have an exclusive, intimate relationship with us!
To leave all of the glory and adoration of Heaven—sheer perfection, joy, and wholeness with 24/7 adoration of angels—to create a special holiday called Christmas, so we could freely come to Him and have access to a close relationship with Him, completely blows my mind! This causes me to want to focus on the true Christmas story, the beautiful Christmas story that offers incredible hope! And it causes me to want to love and encourage others in the ways He loves and encourages me.
I'm preparing these sweet gifts to the nurses in my hospital, it's a little plastic bag filled with chocolates, christmas messages and a bundle of JOY.
I gave one already to one of the nurse that not gonna be around in christmas day and she is so much happy and touched, even tho for me it's just a small gift, but looking at her reaction i'm realize how much important to show others love even from a small action like this, it could means alot for them. And i'm thanksfull that GOD bless me so much that i could bless another peoples around me even in my limitation.
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
PS: Special thanks to IVY and JADE who helped me preparing these gifts.
