Further thoughts on Xmas
Reading Kristian’s blog, his comment on mine, and also reading ODB today (coincidence?), i started to realize that all this time i’ve been emphasizing too much on the celebration of Christmas; being together with my family, doing all the things that we used to do on Christmas… having festive meals, decorations, gifts… Well i didn’t forget about Jesus and His miraculous birth. But i was so busy with all other things that i don’t have enough time to reflect anymore.
Now it’s not the Xmas celebration that makes me busy, but it’s the assignments and all the readings! But I dont want to loose the true significance of Christmas just because of that, not this time. I want to take time to stop for awhile, to try to understand the incomprehensibility of God. Why would the Father wants to give His only Child even though He knew that later The Child will be sacrificed? And why Mary and Joseph the carpenter? Why in a manger? Why does He need to be a human?
Maybe its because, one has to be an ant if he wants to help an ant. But to do so, one has to leave all of his glory, and living a full of limitation life…
Who could imagine a King wants to give up all that He has, and becoming one of us…
Who could imagine that it’s the King of all kings that lying there in a manger…
The incomprehensibility of God.

good reflection. my only advice is that i hope u dont just get highly emotional with it; instead, your reflection is a product of faith - finding a deeper relationship with your Creator. because if you’re just highly emotional with it, it would just died down as time fleets.emotions subsides but not faith
Lastly, I would like to welcome you to the real world. you’ve just graduated from your tweetums effect. congratulations
