Reality sets in ………

At 40’s, people would think we are at the top of our game … have we given any thoughts on that? There is just so much I have embraced and would like to embrace out of life, so being ‘on top of my game’ really depends on what that game is all about. Personally, from my point of view, it is about the miracle of loving myself, spiritual realization, treasuring the gift of family and friends, appreciating the beauty and wonders of nature at each break of dawn and resting of the dusk. Being able to appreciate the true essence of life, something to see, something to do, something to hope and something to be thankful for.

So … each time I blow out the candles on my cake … 41, 42 and blink! 43 and from now on each additional number is a celebration to the gift of ‘life’! I suppose it’s the same with all those around me especially my childhood friends who are in their 40’s today (who enjoyed and are still enjoying the frills of the Flower Power Era!) …. remembering 'Old is Gold!' After awhile we really do stop counting the years and start living them up instead. Sounds good to me!

Hmmm …… and then there is this inevitable bundle of annoying fine lines on the face (trying to put it as mildly as possible!), often cracked feet just in weeks if we missed the heel cream!, silver threads running along the crowning glory, sagging butts and crackling bones … and the list goes on! But what’s that compared to feeling so assured of our inner self because of wisdom and strength. We've been there ~ almost every place, in and out, up and down and yet nailed everything down to experience. Would we rather that or trying so hard to relive our good old 16's and 21's, dressing, walking, talking and thinking … not actually knowing, what the real world can finally bounce back towards our direction whilst we are too carried away on the fast track and ultimately lose track! I found my answer.

When reality of life sets in …… don’t ever run away from it! It is here and now that we truly find ourselves without the layers of our hidden walls and when we finally find it, it’s an immeasurable meaningful journey and experience of life. Never for a moment lose the grip of it but continue on living your life enjoying change from within ... inside, out!

A Cuppa Christmas Blessing with a spoonful of joy* and a dollop of peace*!

and wisdom comes quietly ...





Remembering a beautiful season of sharing and giving enfolds from the gift
of the month of December!

As I looked up the skyline from the garden ... and there, I gazed upon the multitude of stars sparkling from the crown high above, the amazing handiwork from 'The Painter of the sky'! The * was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a Savior for the world, and the star was the sign of fulfillment of His promise. Matthew 2 : 1 ~ 10.

Let us continue to hear the a soft twinkling sound of the bells knowing that as the lost sheep are found by the sound of the bell, it will ring mankind to the fold. The bell carries the meaning of guidance and return to a safe resting place under God's shelter.             
Matthew 18 : 12 ~ 14.




There is no better time than now, it is now, this very CHRISTmas Season, for all of us to rededicate ourselves to change from within for the better! Let it be a time that lights the eyes of all those around us and puts joy in their hearts. Let it be a time for lifting the lives of those who are in need. Let it be a time for calling our families and our communities together, for feeling of peace to those who are near to us and peace also to those who are absent. Let it be a time for forgiving and letting go.

Let it be a time of prayers for faith, for the preservation of unity, and for the blessings of those who are far from us. Let it be a time of forgetting self and finding time for others. Let it be a time for discarding the meaningless and for embracing the true values of life. Let it be a time of peace because we have found peace in His presence.

Most of all, let it be a time to remember the birth of our Beloved Savior, Jesus Christ, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men!




As you enjoy your cuppa this Christmas season, may the spirit of love which comes at Christmas time fill your homes and your lives and linger there long after this season is over and may it continue on as Christmas can be felt everyday if we open the Door of Faith to the gift of life!

  


Christmas Cheers!
