Sitting here on Boxing Day, relaxing and enjoying my cup of Coffee. I am thinnking back and reflecting on my day yesterday......so much to learn :-)
I woke up early (despite a late night on Christmas Eve) and attended the combined church service at River of Christ Church in Kota Damansara. Pastor Monica sent a very interesting Christmas Message to all: let us be a beacon to shine forth the Love of Jesus simply by showing forth the inner peace that we have as believers in Christ. Indeed a peace that we can only have if we truly Trust in the Lord. How many of us practicing Christians can claim to have that!
Perhaps its time to search our inner selves.
This Christmas was even more meaningful when I attended the Christmas Carnival organised by the Combined Churches in Kota Damansara. They have been doing this for many years!
Its a Carnival where the churches and the volunteers share the Joys and Spirit of Christmas with the local community. Good condition used clothes were collected from church members and were sold at the Carnival for prices as low as RM1.
Food were given FREE whilst game coupons were sold at RM1. Many members were buying Game Coupons and giving it out for FREE to the kids. This is indeed the Spirit of Giving and Sharing.
With the game coupons children and adults were playing Fun Fair Type games and winning gifts and prizes. Everyone goes away a winner - the Joys of the season were shared and experienced by all. The Love of God reaches out to all.
Although it was a a programme organised by the churches - there was no preaching but yet the Love of GOD was shared by all, experienced by all.
This is the kind of programme that communities must organise regularly where differences are set aside, unity and cooperation encouraged to grow.
This programme puts to shame all the Mesra Rakyat Programmes that the Political offices organised. We have lots to learn from this Christmas Carnival.
Well, it was indeed a Blessed Chhristmas for me........

Funny how when a father work so hard in a coal field, facing difficulty and life threatening situation everyday at work place. In the end of the day, during dinner. The family pray and thank the god for the food on their table and funny how no one thank their real, visible, touchable and real father and husband in front of them for the meal on their table. Maybe, they think that god has bless their father and ward off evil from their dad, so that he could be healthy and work without been hurt so that he be able to bring back money from work to buy food. Think again, is there any single person in this world could really proof that there is god? All they could ever claim is that they feel him and maybe see or speak to him in their dream. And again, dream! No concrete proof can be shown to any mankind. Don't you think that, if god really send his only son to the earth so mankind could be save. If Jesus was really the son of god, don't you think it would be more concrete proof to the human that when the Roman soldiers prosecute Jesus and he can't be kill. Don't you think by then the whole world would only worship one god?
SO all those good feeling about god are done my human they themselves. Nothing more and nothing less. Stop sing praise to thing that no single soul in this world could proof. I know human need something to hold onto during their darkest hour of their life but learn to be tough and believe in yourself and you be able to sail through any rough seas.
