I would like to wish everyone a merry Christmas this year!!! This is Christmas has been a very special one for me. Not because of what presents I
received or
didn't received, but for all the amazing
people God has placed in my life. God has done so much for me, yet I have done so little for him. I am far away from where I want to be with God, but this Christmas was different, its
wasn't the normal Christmas that I had experienced in the past. I
didn't receive to many gifts, but the greatest gift of was
received at mass through the Birth of Christ and Communion. Being at mass with my my mom and lots of my friends was a
phenomenal experience. One of the amazing things, that I
don't remember doing in years past at my church was during mass we all knelt and
surrendered our lives to Jesus. It was so amazing!!! It was so moving for me, because I have always been told by my Pastor that I need to get on my knees every morning and
surrendered myself to Jesus. It was such a powerful experience for me. I went to mass this morning also so I did it again.
Just reflecting on the real meaning of Christmas, the giving of oneself for the whole world. Christ did that for us cause he loves us. Another one is how its not all about the presents under the tree and what people got, its about family and friends. God has really blessed me with both. I wouldn't trade my family or friends for anything. My greatest gift for Christmas is just being with them for however long I can. I love all of them so much and I care so much about them. It was an amazing experience to see one of my best friends Sing for the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a grin on my face the whole time, I was so proud of him!! I would trade nothing for that experience alone.
Just to know so many people care for me and I care for them is more than enough for me this Christmas!!!
God Bless and Merry Christmas
This is a great song by Chris Tomlin Emmanuel
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...And the Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth.
(John 1: 1, 14)
