JESUS, THE REASON AND PURPOSE OF CHRISTMAS 12-6-18

-




Christmas.
A celebration of the birth of Christ.
This is a season of joy, love and celebration!
It is also a time of stress, loneliness and confusion.
Some worry over the importance of getting the right presents for particular people, spending more than your finances will allow and thus, many are thrown into a whirlwind of commercialism that society endorses.
In these times of loneliness and this culture of commercialism, I think about Jesus.
Then I pray!
Jesus, God, who came to Earth feeling what it was to be totally human, like us, to save us is the purpose and reason of Christmas.
I know that this society of Christmas commercialism is something that angers God.
Being kind, loving and especially reaching out to others, especially spending time with the sick, the forgotten, the lonely, the distraught, the vulnerable and the troubled is, to me, the genuine and real meaning of Christmas!
Reaching out and spending time, this Christmas, with others, especially those who are not as fortunate as I am, especially the sick and whom I previously mentioned, is the plan I’m forecasting for myself on Christmas!
God, though, may have other plans for me this Christmas.
God, whatever your purpose for me on Christmas and every day of my life, I ready and willing to surrender to Your Will!
With sincerity, love and prayers for everyone to have a blessed Christmas,

These medical miracles have improved the lives of multitudes and have also created paths of wellness in the lives an infinite number of others! Though this is fascinating news and it all benefits humankind, there are serious problems in the presentation of medical treatment. How medical professionals communicate with their patient(s)  can steal the worth and good out of these medical miracles. Through these medical marvels are wondrous, it feels to me that needed changes need to brought forth in how well these medical professionals  communicate with their patient(s). People with serious and chronic health conditions, especially those who require more medical care and treatments, like myself,  know well that  the Healthcare System needs improvements that would benefit th...

The Passing of One of My Dearest Friend, Reverend Ernest Batten With sadness, sorrow and immeasurable grief, one of my dearest friends, Reverend Ernest Batten, passed away on April 17, 2024. Reverend Ernest Batten left these Earthly Dwellings and has risen into the Heavenly Realms.
