Season's greetings!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Yes, the greeting is a few days too late, but Christmas is a season (and not just merely a day), and so here's to a very joyful and blessed holiday season! yayyyyyy!
So here's the official family Christmas pic for 2007!
Yesterday was also the Feast of the Holy Family, which to me, is one of my favourite Church feasts. Since Christmas-time always brings families together, I always love how we are reminded of the beautiful example given to us by Joseph, Mary and the baby Jesus. They were all human. They experienced joy and pain. They were surrounded by people who loved them, but were probably also despised by many. And yet, in all their shortcomings and human-ness (haha ok that's a word I think I made up) they never forgot to LOVE. Just like other families they too were ordinary, but they loved in an extraordinary way.
As I look at my own family, it's evident that we're not perfect. But that's why families are given to us - so that through them, we can continue to grow in holiness.
Maybe for some of us, this holiday season meant being more patient with our siblings or becoming more obedient
towards our parents. Or maybe we realized how important it is to be
less selfish and to think of others first before ourselves. And perhaps,
for the rest of us the message this season was really a simple one: to LOVE
just like the Holy Family loved.
For the rest of the Christmas season, and for the new year ahead, I wish you and your families an awesome 2008 - may it be a year full of peace, joy and love!
