One good feature of childhood period is that we do not let the facts get in the way of our imagination! One advantage of being adult is that we can now observe life with clearer perspectives! Dina, I really take pleasure in reading your remarkable piece of writing! A christian adult should be able to perceive Christmas from a spiritual point of view!
ReplyDeleteChhana, thanks. Hope you enjoy your time at CMC.
ReplyDelete@Maisek, thank you for your insightful and encouraging comments.
What a sensible piece of writing!! Yes, Christmas is for Christ.. but X-mas is for the world.
ReplyDeleteanother beautiful post...sir, i only wish there were more people like you around...i think the mizo youth is ready for another inspirational song...we admire you and our prayers are with you and your loved ones...
ReplyDelete@Tharax, Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, I don't think I deserve such wonderful comments from you because I know there are so many of you who are much better and more awesome than someone like me! Anyway, thank you for your prayers. I too am looking to God if He would give me another new song! I could only hope and pray...
True indeed.

Have a blessed christmas.

...and also the realisation that everyday is Christmas if we have jesus in us. Let us remain ever grateful that he undertook the greatest journey to save the whole of mankind.
