Beloved happy Christmas,
To our mothers in the house you can imagine the labour pains Mary had started experiencing and now given birth. The angels had concluded their rehearsals and now singing. The shepherds had made plans for tomorrow like any other day but now experienced a divine encounter. The wise men were busy studying, observing and contemplating now following a star. Herod was busy gloating soon will soon shiver. Joseph was busy making arrangements and now Jesus is born to come as the One the world eagerly expected and longed for, to save the world.

So how are we celebrating Christmas? The mass of Christ, the day set aside from 366 days to mark the birth of our Saviour?

No matter the turkey, chicken, rice, oil, dress, shoe, money, and others we have or do other have, Christmas will come and the heavens and earth shall sing and celebrate because that's exactly what happened on the first Christmas!

Joseph and Mary had no bags of rice, Christmas clothes or shoe. But Jesus was born. Their travelling was not by choice but they had a safe journey (as would as any here that have and will travel to and fro, amen). They had no money but ended the day with gold, frankincense and myrrh all gifts for baby Jesus.

So what are your expectations for this 2018 Christmas? What gifts are you expecting from God? What gift are you giving Him?

Happy Christmas and have a safe, blessed and joyfully happy day �

Merry Christmas all....
