Christmas time is to feel God is presence and the true love surrounding us all the time. Yes, to feel the Lord is watching over you and me. Yes, to have a merry little Christmas love and feel His great love abound in ours heart, joy will ring a happy tune!
Ethan : "I am going to make the manger for little baby Jesus!" .... "I want to make him a blanket too!"
Ethan : "Mummy, if we have do bad thing, will Jesus still love us?"
Mummy : "Yes, He loves us all the time."
Ethan : "What about if he still loving us and we still do bad thing again?",
Mummy : "He desperately wants us to try again. In bible clearing staged down thing that God wants us to do and what is prohibited. Those will definitely lead us to meet God in our life or in the opposite way...."
Ethan : "Why Jesus wanted to be born in December?", "When Jesus was born, will him cry out loud?", "What Jesus did when he was a small boy?"
Ethan started to raise those questions.
I love to hear his questions. It's stimulating me to think about it too. Who is God? Why we want to follow Him in our life? Emmanuel is observing and listening to our conversation. Sometime out of sudden he will repeat the question that Ethan was asked. Why Jesus born in December... Checking on the bible, it didn't stated down Jesus was on December neither said it was winter. If Jesus was born in December, it was unlikely for shepherd to have been out in the fields or searching for meadow. It was so cold, it shouldn't have much green land around. Whether Jesus was born in December 25... Christ's birth was a remarkable historical event, the date isn't as important as the implications of the event and also for the commemorate his death, then to the resurrection of Jesus. The hope is born and the love is with us to bear a fruitful and contented life.
As the Christmas time approaches, especially to Ethan the 5 years old boy wanted to have gifts on this day. To him he feel that beside it is Jesus's birthday, it is the day to receive gifts too.
My dear little one at home, I wish and I hope and I pray that, for the years of Christmas you have, you feel the joy and know that Jesus is what you have, even if their aren't many gifts under your Christmas tree. Have happy thoughts of all the times you have, with friends and family. Above all this, feel Jesus true love. Remember all He has done for us, and put your faith and trust in Him, you all can't go wrong. Smile at others as you go on your way, as you know Jesus loves you and me.
Merry Christmas 2012, Tokyo.
