We started the celebration on Christmas eve each year, so the 24th of December is always a hectic day..
.. it wasn't always a good day though.
Yesterday morning as I was starting to prepare myself and everything I needed, things just went wrong.
I plan to go at 1 pm, I ended up leaving the house at 3:40. It was bad.
My laptop was acting up; it was a mess.
But nevertheless, once the first service began, everything just seemed fine :)
There was this peace that came, even though we had a real hectic first service, it felt like things went smoothly, and that we were getting through! :):)
Came the second service, I was a bit on the edge because there was a change in the service that I wasn't being told about! O.O
But things went quite smoothly, despite a bit of hiccup with the new sound monitor system...
Over all it was a good two-service day :)
But those were not the important things..
Here's what I really learn this Christmas:
1. It's all about JESUS, our wonderful Savior. He Who chose to came and be born as human, when He could just enjoy Himself as God. Him Whose arrival the angles proudly and joyfully proclaim to the shepherds. He Who, despite knowing the suffering He would have to bear, chose to be with us and love us, and 33 years later died for us on the Cross.
There is no other celebration in Christmas than a celebration of Jesus and His love for us.
2. It is truly a privilege to serve!
It's a joy to be around friends you'll have for life, play together but also work hard together to pull something as MEGA as this, AND at the same time sowing love for the people, opening opportunities for people to meet and feel the presence of Jesus Christ, TOGETHER :)
I was concerned a few weeks ago *Ha!* about what I'll do on the Christmas services. Will I just sit down as a 'guest'? I was getting quite anxious actually :p Therefore I can truly say that it's a privilege for me to serve this Christmas :)
Merry Christmas to one and all!
May this Christmas we reflect back on what this season truly means :)
CHEERS!
