A Blessed Christmas

Some people believe that Christmas is all merry and all that with great food, great parties and great presents (and not forgetting love) going around; a season of giving. It's good to hear that, but the real reason why we celebrate Christmas is that Christ Jesus was born 2000 years back. Not that he was born exactly on this date- 25th Dec, but GOD gave Him to us as a gift, a way for us sinners to go back to the Father. Jesus was sent down here like any other human, He was born into a poor family, not a King. He paid for our sins by sacrificing His life, His flesh and blood, so that we can be with our heavenly Father. This is and always is the Greatest present I've ever accepted in my life! To me, a Blessed Christmas is better than a Merry Christmas. As people say, Christmas is a season for giving, so should we only give when it's Christmas? I think that we should think Christmas every day with a giving spirit! There's no need to give presents, but to lend yourself as a helping hand, a listening ear, an encouragement and some time every day to one who needs it, wouldn't one feel loved and blessed?
