Christmas is coming soon! Can't wait. :)
Every year, i have this little imagination of a little boy or girl, hanging up a star on top of their christmas tree and making a wish upon it. :) How nice is it to have wishes that do come true once in a while. heee...
When i was little, i believed that wishes do come true. *movies have gotten to me, i know* ;P hee...i believed that santa claus was real, that he actually comes down from chimneys and puts christmas presents under our christmas trees. haha. Now that i'm older enough to know that he is not real, i know that i;m that little girl no more.
What do i think about christmas now? I don't believe christmas is all about presents. It is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Yes, people do give presents to one another, but that's not the main point about Christmas. Presents are just adding joy to it i guess. :) or maybe it's all about giving and not about recieving. :) I mean, don't ask back for any because it's about the joy of Giving.
What do i wanna see this christmas? I want to invite my friends to Church this year to experience the meaning about Christmas and understand that the true meaning about christmas is not about presents. Yes, i agree that it is hard to invite non-christian friends to church. Some might say "i'm not free, sorry", some might say "my mom won't let me", some might say " I want to , but i'm going on vacation", and some might even actually say "sorry, i'm not interested". Well, whatever excuses they give, if we keep on trying, one day they will say, "yes, i would love to go" because they know that you care about them. And yes, if we don't try, how would we know if they want to come or not. God is happy and proud of us too because we take a chance to invite friends to come hear this message. Don't feel embarrassed to ask because God will give you wisdom and strength to do so. You won't regret it, trust me.
I know and understand that sometimes, when you want to invite your friends to an event or something, you feel embarassed that when they do come, the event ends up being terrible and un-organized. Yes, i do get that at times, but your friends will understand. It might not be the best night or day for them but deep down inside, i know that they appreciate it alot because you are willing to invite them eventhough things don't turn out right. That they know that you care about them alot. :) So please, do try to invite your friends, i'm sure they would love to say yes, And it will definitely be something new to them. :)
And if they don't say yes this time, try try again. Don't give up trying for when you try, one day their answers will be yes. :)
