Christmas

He was created of a mother whom He created.

He was carried by hands that He formed.

He cried in the manger in wordless infancy.

He (Jesus Christ), the Word, without whom all human eloquence is mute

The birth of the Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history,

Because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which

Has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years...

Let us remember this season the, “Christ” in Christmas and ….

Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart,

A wide open heart that thinks of others first.

Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart

"Christmas, my child, is love in action." -- Dale Evans

 

As Time Flies

I remember I was 12 - wishing I was 13

When I was 15 -  I prayed to be sweet16

At 17, 18 looked so far and time went so awfully slow

tick tock

tick tock

The day of my 18th birthday!

A mile stone people - whoooopi

So the years dragged by slowly and I was just wishing that 21 would come around so that I could open up my own accounts and buy my own car.

21 Came around and it was not as great as I thought it would be ...

Suddenly I was 30

So on that day

I was given a huge bunch of cosmos flowers and I remember so strongly the words I said at 18......

"I want to live hard and die young before I reach 30"

Suddenly I realized that I had not even started living and the thought crossed me that I am 30 yrs old and I started crying thinking to myself..... you are old ......

35 Came and went

40 Came

They said that at 40 you start living.

Right .... ja right ....

Suddenly the years just started speeding up like a bullet train or shall I say a fighter jet

Whap, whap, whap

I realise that I am getting old quickly

Retirement is around the corner

I have not done what I wanted

I have waisted time with people and things

And at the end of my days
It will be said: Dust to Dust

When some stranger walks through the graveyard,
they will turn to their child and say:"do you know where the richest place in town is?'
The child will respond: "no Daddy, where?"
"Here in the graveyard, because many of these people God blessed with many talents,
and here, they all lie buried with all that rich treasure"
