Today's alr.....hmm...27th December to be exact. Which means 2 days after Christmas, just over boxing day.
Well, this Christmas is spent mostly in Orchard I'd say. Went to Orchard as mentioned on Christmas Eve cos mum and I agreed that it sucks to stay at home on Christmas Eve. So we went shopping and yeah, same old story, bought stuff again =) This time mum bought stuff too, for CNY, which is coming really really soon! Like another 3 more weeks?
As for Christmas, well, dad's side had party the sat before alr, mum's side gonna meet on 31st for countdown party! Yeah! So basically spent Christmas at Carrefour while my parents went to buy the lamp chop for the 31st party. Bro and I shopped ard and found that the discounts were much better than that of Orchard. Bought some shirts AGAIN and erm went home with 120 dollars worth of lamp chop in the boot =D
During my visit to Borders the last few days, I read 1 book called "The Purpose of Christmas" by Rick Warren. Its a very very inspiring book. It shows how much some of us have diverted away from the true purpose of Christmas, why is it celebrated, the meaning of joy and peace. Of course these seems too harsh a "theory" for anyone to accept in such a practical and chaotic world. It just re-aligns our hearts back to God, our Saviour, who was born in the Human Form on this day to interact with what He has created. So its a day of celebrating, to show our joy and thankful-ness for His presence. To care for others, to live up to what He has been waiting to see us do. I've not read the whole book but Im very very determined to spend that amount to buy that book because I believe in quality reading and to keep those "doors of precious thoughts" on my shelves. Its easy to read, but deep in meaning. All in all, even though I've not read till last page yet, I know what's the main thing to say. God is GREAT! =)
Dear Father Lord, You are the greatest of all. Your son was born on this day and He came down to spread more about You. Lord, You are our Saviour. Abounding in Love, You forgave our sins by sacrificing Your only Son. No words can describe Your greatness. Now for this christmas, I want to thank You and only You for blessing me this year throughout, for seeing me through tough times, to guide me and to help me whenever I need it the most. You have been around me, walking side by side along me, to guide me, to show me the path. Sometimes I may not have seen the light, but I know You will be there to guide me back to the right route, to allow me to grow under your Care. Lord this Christmas its good to know You are here with me and that's sufficient. Its the best that I or anyone can ask for. I thank you Lord. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN!
I was listening to Gold 90.5 fm and I heard this song called "All at Once" by Whitney Houston. It was just fabulous. Simply sweet, nostalgic, and breath-taking song. You guys gotta go hear it.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
