Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas,
he thought, doesn’t come from a store? What if Christmas…perhaps…means a little
bit more!
--Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Hello world!
It’s been a while I wrote a blogmas post here. Life has been
pretty busy, overwhelming. Is it just me, or time is really running quicker
than normal? Today is 21st December, just 3 days and 17 hours to Christmas.
By the time we realize, we have entered 2018.
Oh well, life itself just passes quickly by.
I was at work yesterday when it dawned on me that we have
entered the 20s of the month, but I hadn’t had time to do a proper Christmas shopping
for gifts and food. I then understood those who usually say they hadn’t got
time to do anything.
Well, maybe, I do not know how to manage my time.
A thought came to mind. Christmas is not all about the
physical things we use to celebrate. As I participate in the #LightTheWorld
initiative, I realized Christmas is all about having time for your loved ones
and the people who love you. I must not worry about not having time to do Christmas
shopping, I must worry about not having enough time to spend time with family,
friends and loved ones.
The #LightTheWorld initiative has taught me about the value
of service and presence. Jesus Christ gave service to His fellow men, even
though he is the King of kings. He took care of people and loved them.
The quote I wrote above came to mind. I have been watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas since I was
younger, and this quote came in handy.
Do not worry about not having time and money to spend on the
material things of Christmas, even though, it is so cool and fun to do such
things. The most people thing is having the people you love around you during
this time of the year.
The end!
