Every
person has his own priorities, his own wants and needs. Some people may choose
material things, while others may prefer tangible ones such as love, peace,
prosperity and good health among others. No matter what these people wish for
these holiday season, what matters most is that the desires of their hearts are
granted as long as nobody is hurt, right?
This
Christmas season, it is important for us to bear in our minds the reason why we
are celebrating this yuletide season in the first place. In this month of
December, it is a must for us to remember that our Lord came in this world in
order to save us from our sins; He came to redeem us from the wickedness of
this world.
We
also have to recollect the fact that our Lord God is humble being born only in
a manger. This is the message that is sent to us - we must learn how to humble
ourselves, no matter how rich or financially wealthy we are because Christ
himself symbolizes humility. Even though He is a son of God, He did not
demanded for a special “birthing place” or become “man” in a wealthy family;
instead, He was born in a poor family.
Anyway,
the essence of celebrating Christmas season is not to have a house full of
Christmas lights, having a tall and beautiful Christmas tree full of gifts
underneath it and giving expensive gifts. Christmas basically means sharing
what you have, not just the material things but also those that can only be
felt like a warm, tight hug, a simple thank you, showing our appreciation to
our loved ones and forgiveness among others.
Whichever
of these are important to you this holiday season, just remember that it’s the
thought that counts and that love is the most important thing in the world.
When love governs our hearts and minds, everything will follow and we don’t
need to wait for Christmas time to share our love to other people.
