Recently, there's this radio station which i listend to - they have this competition to win some tics to watch The Polar Express and also at the end the grand prize is an IBM thinkpad. After you choose btwn door 1 or 2, if you get the door which has Santa in it, you win the tics for 4 to watch the movie and also a chance at the win the ThinkPad but you need to tell in ONE WORD, what christmas means.
Last sunday marked the beginning of the new church calendar year. Its also marks Advent. The time we wait. The time we clear ourselves and mind of things that's holding us to this world. The time we ponder on what being a christian means. How have I been as a christian. What things of this world which are holding me and I need to let go.
When i first heard that radio station and their question. I was thinking. Alot of people would say joy, peace, blablaba. I realized that HOPE would be a better reason for christmas. WHY? coz hope would bring happiness to the poor - hope for a better christmas, hope to put food on the table. Hope for people in countries of war - that during this christmas time at least the war would cease even if its just for a minute. hope to know there is still a glimmer of light for humanitity after all humans has done - Destroying the beautiful earth God has given us. Destroying life when God has given us life. Trying to take over the role of God by doing human cloning.
Hope - I like it. It brings people's spirits high.
I know what I must give during this advent season. I need to ask God's grace in an area in life that I can't seem to let go.
