Christmas, A Time To Be Thankful

THANK YOU. These are the two words taught to us early in life and which we should never hesitate to utter when the situation calls for it.

In  my daily life, it has always been automatic for me to say "thank you" even to the smallest gestures of kindness shown to me. Like when a vehicle stops to let me cross the street or when somebody offers to give my money to the driver while riding a jeep. When we experience these acts of kindness, great or small, it makes life a little better despite the challenges that we face.

This Christmas season, we should be reminded that apart from giving love, we also have to be grateful for the blessings we received throughout the year. We give thanks as well for the birth of our Savior Lord Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, who is the real reason for the season.
