WAITING FOR THE SWEETEST CHRISTMASES OF ALL TIME!

-

Christmas is here again! Compliments of the season everyone! If there was a way to get some 'shickens' from you all, aswear, I would have done it o. I am that greedy!

Christmas. A season of joy and laughter and sharing and reunion. Yes, reunion. It's that time of year when alot of families gather at their family houses to celebrate with their loved ones. To reunite with relatives they haven't seen for a looong time: and even get to meet other relatives they didn't know before.

Churches are not left out of the reunion spirit. Some churches organize camp meetings and other kinds of meetings where believers of that denomination can fellowship together.

You will all agree with me that reunions are joyful. There is something wonderful about celebrating the yuletide in company of loved ones long missed. It's a feeling I can't adequately put into words.

I am thinking of something. A day of reunions. The Reunion of all reunions, when we will celebrate the greatest Christmases together.

Currently the best of our family reunions cannot be compared to the reunions of that day.

I am thinking of the Day when we all who have accepted God's gracious gift of salvation (Jesus Christ, the One Whose birth we are celebrating) will gather together, from every race and tribe, nation and language: when we will meet brothers and sisters we have never met, and reunite with long lost friends who were separated from us by death, or change of location.

I am thinking of us all, celebrating Christmas together, and most amazingly with God the Father, with the Son of God whom we have been celebrating while on this sin-cursed earth. But then, we will be celebrating these Christmases with Him, face to face, throughout eternity! Forever remembering what He came to do for us. And in a world void of sin and sickness and death and fuel scarcity. In a happy place. In a New Heaven and a New earth.


As you celebrate this Christmas, think of that Day. And very importantly, talk to someone about the One Whom we are celebrating, the One Whom Christmas is all about. Tell them what Jesus came to do for thus, for them. Spread the news around! So they can all look forward to celebrating those perfect Christmases with us and Jesus face to face throughout eternity!

I believe Christmas is FOREVER! Because this beautiful, priceless gift of salvation, and the Giver of Salvation, is worth celebrating for all time! As someone once sang, 'The Praise goes on forever'.

And if you have not yet received the Christ of Christmas, He is waiting for you. Just receive Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and Savior. Then, you get the FULL benefits of Christmas, something all the food and drinks and gifts cannot give you.

Merry Christmas, people!

FAITH'S HALL OF FAME AND ME

I love fiction. I have always loved fiction for as long as I could read. For me, a good story beats the best movie anytime. When I am reading a good story, I easily 'leave' my surroundings and travel to the land of the story. And I immerse myself in the characters' lives. I relate to them like real people. I feel their pain. I smile when they smile. I am sometimes scared for them when they are walking into danger. (That is, for my favorite characters o). One thing I have observed in reading fiction is the love the author obviously has for some of his characters. And also his or her dislike for some characters too. I can tell by the way he describes the character he loves. The lead character is often someone very beautiful or very handsome. Apart from that, the character (whom I will call 'he') is miraculously almost morally perfect. Even his flaws are made to seem endearing. This is obvious especially in Christian fiction. He is unbelievably loving, patient to

Anita leaves her 4months old baby, Dennis, in his cot and goes to the kitchen, puts plates of egusi soup and eba and water on a tray and takes to Mother-in-law, who is in the living room watching TV. 'I hope you enjoy your lunch, mama', she says with a nervous smile and curtseys as she puts the tray on the table. 'Thank you', Mother-in-law murmurs and begins to eat. Anita walks to the door leading to her bedroom and watches mama nervously from behind the door. She hopes mama will like her food. She tried to cook it the way mama liked it: lumpy egusi with bitter leaf. As Mama swallows the first ball of eba and nods her head, Anita knows she has passed the exam once again and goes into her bedroom. From the very first day she met Mama, till now, she has felt like a perpetual exam candidate. The tense smile on Mama's face as she said Good morning to her on the morning of her first arrival in her in-laws house as Kenneth's fiance, and Kenneth's too ch

' In my prosperity, I said I shall never be moved'. (Psalm 30:6) . Onyinye was born into a loving, close-knit, well-to-do family who adore her. As a student in secondary school and University, she was popular and had excellent grades. She is currently married to a successful business man who adores her. He literally kisses the ground she walks on. The marriage is blessed with three lively and lovely boys who are doing well in school. Onyinye is happy. She is thankful to God for her sunny life. She knows her life is smooth because she applies the right principles of success to her life everyday: she is nice, gives well in church, prays, evangelizes, etc. She can never be poor or sick or suffer. She is so sure of that. ************************************** The character 'Onyinye' is a fictitious one. However, some of us can identify with her: we are living the perfect life, or we know someone whose life is this sunny. Alot of us are not so lucky (eyah!). I do
