ESSENCE
OF CHRISTMAS
Christmas is the most joyous celebration in the whole world. For we
remember the birth of our Messiah, Jesus Christ. This season is always
celebrated during the day of December 25.
When this celebration arrives it means
a lot for us. Especially for children and families. We do a lot of things
during this occasion. Decorating our houses. Giving and receiving gifts. Eating
more foods during Noche Buena, attending Christmas Parties, traveling around
the world. And singing Christmas carols with our angelic voices. For us
Filipinos, we enjoy the freezing weather in the early dawn. And we also attend
Mass called Misa de Gallo or the Simbang Gabi.
But the true essence of Christmas is
all about one heart. A one heart that is full of hope, love, peace, acceptance
and Christianity. We give hope to all our neighbors who lose their selves to
all the challenges and trials in life. Especially to all the people who were
affected by many calamities. We show our love by means of sharing what we had.
Helping one another. Peace in our world. We should not quarrel with each other
instead we should all unite. Acceptance means forgiveness. Forgive and forget
your enemies and to all people who hurt you. And the most important is
Christianity, it is good to attend mass and ask for prayers for our families
and love ones. We can do all of these when we have a one heart.
Jesus is the wonderful gift of God to us for he will
be the one to save us from our sins. When we do good things to others,
our Messiah is pleased with us. And when we show our hope, love, peace,
acceptance and Christianity. Our Lord will be happy and contented watching us
in heaven. Because what we do to others, we do it to Him. This is His command
and His golden rule.
