Monday, December 25, 2006This year Christmas, I'm really thankful for my loved ones and friends around me.Christmas is not about eating, drinking and merry-making.Christmas is all about the day Christ was born and to remember the blood he has shed for our sins. Friends that went for the christmas service these past few days have been deeply touched by the touch of God. The tears flowing from her eyes reminds me of the day I gave my heart and life to God. I did some self-reflection during this Christmas period. I'm thankful to God for bringing my grandmother back to his heavenly places where she doesn't need to worry about anything on this earth. Poor grandpa is so depressed over by her death and before he could get over with it, another big blow hit him again. He is very strong emotionally though at times I will see him crying in the toilet. He is going back to his hometown and will probably not return anymore. Seeing him leaving Singapore disappointed makes my heart ache. How I wish I could do something for him. Sometimes I find so hard for the truth . The truth whether my mom loves me more than my brother or the other way round. Well, I guess the christmas drama has enlightened me into another whole new theory. An incident happened and I realised that my mom loved me as much as she loved my brother. This year Christmas, she bought a present each for us . For those who know my mom, you will know that she is not a giving person and so I was very surprised and touched by her gesture. The love she has given to this family is liken to Christ who has given His one and only child to die for us all. I wanna stand by mom no matter what and I know she needs me more than anyone else at this point of time. As 2006 ends,I am glad that I am still serving actively in church . Of course there are times when I will ask and question Him how come such things will happen to me and my family. It is so unfair. But He told me that Life is unfair but I AM just. And no matter how hard life can be, I know that there is a God whom I can depend , trust and talk to . He is omnipotent! I wanna thank all my friends and cell group members who have been encouraging me not to give up and always believing in me. Thank you!:D I'm so glad to have you guys! Merry Christmas to all!!
