This is a time of year when everyone is busy buying gifts for their love ones. This is also the time of year when enemies or nemesis reconciled for the sake of the spirit of Christmas. This is also the time of year when war stricken countries are craving for peace. This is also the time of year when people wallowing in abject poverty are asking the government to stop the nuclear wars and instead divert the funds to education and foods but the government is deaf to their anguish because corruption is rolling deep in their bones.
When I was a kid, I used to hang sock on the Christmas tree hoping that Santa Claus would give me expensive gifts but it often ended up with three apples. My father explained to me “Santa Claus is poor.” I wonder really if my father was telling the truth. In my young mind, I found it hard to fathom how Santa could give million gifts to the children all over the world. My imagination may have travelled beyond space and I would often end up to the same question, “Is there really Santa Claus Virginia?” I credence that this is the same thinking kids do have right now until the day, they have discovered that it is the unequivocal love of their parents who gave them those precious gifts and this kind of tradition will go on many generations.
The world is getting tricky now with the enormous initiation of high technology stuff of communication. Human world has become superpower with the introduction of modernization thing. The world is mostly composed of greedy bones. The value of Christmas lost its essence and this is grievous part. People doesn't care anymore that there is one above who is the author of everything. There is one above who sent His only son, Jesus for He loves the world so much.
Yesterday, Rick Harman gave me a 2012 calendar. In that calendar are the beautiful sceneries of Utah, USA. I was so amazed of the splendid beauty of nature that I uttered, “God is the greatest artist.” Yes, that is true. You may failed to notice it but just look around you, how splendid God’s creation. God has never stopped its divine providence though this world has become chaotic, greedy and selfish. God is omnipotent, He giveth and He taketh.
Every day in our lives let us take a moment to bow our heads and say thank you to God for His unending divine providence.
“I thank you God for sending your only son, Jesus Christ to redeem this world from sin. I thank you although sometimes we may have forgotten you due to our busy lives, you continually provide us foods to eat, shelters for our dwelling and for putting those splendid creations to remind us of your greatness and your glory."
