Another fact about this season is that people are kinder and more generous. Everyone seems to be in a festive mood and are highly-spirited in their activities.
Christmas gives life to everyone. God is present in the generosity of people who show their love and concern to others especially to the less fortunate. Everyone feels inspired to respond to the call of God to love by sharing the way He did when he gave His only begotten son.
Christmas gives us a special feeling that is hard to explain. We get excited but where does this feeling really come from? Is it because of Jesus who is celebrating His birthday or is it because of the gifts we will receive? Does Jesus have a place in our heart especially on this day?
Christmas is a time of rejoicing and giving thanks to God who gave us Jesus, the Light of the world. His coming made a difference in the lives of the people who believed and accepted Him.
When Jesus was born, the world was never the same again. He had enlightened us and saved us from sin. Jesus is the true light of Christmas. He is our model. He is the one that reminds us to be like the glittering lights we enjoy during the season of Christmas... to give joy... light... peace... and happiness to all those who see us.
May each day always be a Christmas. May we learn to be generous in our acts towards everyone and like Jesus, may we let our love shine on people... may we show our love in every way.
"Do not be afraid: for behold, I proclaim to
you good news of great joy that will be for
all the people. For today in the City of
David a Savior has been born for you
who is Messiah and the Lord."
- Luke 2:10-11
