It's the eve of Christmas eve and I felt that I wanted to pen some of my thoughts as we go about our merry making and joyous festive preparations. However, as we stroll along the shopping malls and the departments stores, carols are abound and shoppers are all excited as they rush through to buy that last minute gifts. 
However, one thing that we all tend to forget is that to remember a child who was born 2000 years ago in a stable low and forlorn. This child grew up and changed the whole world; a king yet humble enough to be born in a stable. He came to bring not peace but changes in our lives. He challenged us to think instead of living in constant fighting; to love the one who slaps you on your right cheek.
A king is Born
No one listened yet they still insisted on living their own set of rules and not conform to the changes brought about by this man. He came to his own but his own rejected him and put him to the cross! How cruel you may think of this notion, but that is reality.
Even today, we still have such people who behave and act in this way. Only true conviction to love and care for others will inspire us to change the way we think and act; only by this will our lives be completely transformed.
So, during this season of Hope, lets hope that all peoples (of different faiths and believes) may live in peace and acknowledge that we all belong to one family, which God had created. Lets also pray that all those bigot thinking will dissipate and tolerant views will flourish instead.
Blessed Christmas and a wonderful, hopeful New Year of 2007!
