The gifts under the tree are gone. The presents have been opened.. the aginaldos have been given away.. and the mouth-watering lechon consumed. It is the day after Christmas. And for most of us, it’s back to work once more. But though Christmas 2006 is already over, it does not mean our celebration has to stop! For while the season may last for only a few days, the *REASON* for our joy transcends time and culture :)
As that popular Christmas song goes:
Joy to the world! The LORD is come!
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heav’n and nature sing
And heav’n and nature sing
And heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing!
Joy to the world! The SAVIOR reigns!
Let men their songs employ!
While fields and floods,
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy!
Yes, we really have a reason to be joyful. In the midst of a hurting, war-torn world, we have a Savior Whom we can count on. Jesus may have been born more than 2000 years ago.. but He lives on, to this day. Giving His gift of hope.. and peace.. and healing.. and LOVE :) The decors, the carols, the presents may be gone; but let the CHRIST in Christmas always remain in our hearts :)
