"Wake up! Its the season of the year!........"
For those who knew, my church had a musical for the Christmas season, the musical was entitled season of the year. But don't worry, I'm not going to talk about the musical, though it was splendid, I should say.
Well, Christmas is over, A new year is dawning. For me, this season of the year, wasn't as grand, wasn't as WOW, wasn't something that I looked forward to. Not that there was something unhappy or discontented about it, just that, it didn't have that excitement that it used to be.
Before Christmas came, a group of Kidzone teachers were just sharing about what Christmas means to them. Well, for some, they didn't grow up celebrating it, yet for some, it was a gathering of families, and for some, it was a indeed a season of relax and remembering the reason for the season. I grew up in a Christian home, Christmas was celebrated every year, and I DO KNOW what its all about, and indeed its about the birth of Jesus, who came to sacrifice His life for many. Every year, I hear and at times say the same thing, because no doubt it is true, but over the years, it became a knowledge than a conviction.
Because of that, I didn't feel the "wow, Jesus came to save me" feeling.
As I pondered why this is happening, I remembered seeing this video in my youth camp, the camp I mentioned in my earlier post. Its called "That's my King" As I just happen to remember about it, and since at that point in time, my computer was right in front of me, I went to search for it in Youtube and watched it again. After I watched it, I could only think of one thing. How can I not celebrate, if 'THAT'S MY KING'? I surely have to!
Not that I'm obliged, but because he is that kind of KING, I want to celebrate! Then onwards, I celebrated Christmas this year a very different way, though not loud and screamy, but subtle and truly from my heart. This is year, is indeed different.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all, remember, That's OUR King.
