I have always loved the Christmas song "Silent Night" for it speaks of that one cold night when the little child who will save us all was born in a humbly and lowly manger. Whenever we get the chance to play for the Christmas mass, we always include this song in our repertoire.
It has the simplest and most beautiful message to it: that things need not be extravagant or expensive to make others happy when giving gifts. For the most precious gift comes wrapped in swaddling clothes. It goes the same with gift giving. True, while we always want to give the best gift, in the end what matters most is the love that comes with the gift. While material things give us temporary happiness, receiving and giving love and true friendship, a sincere smile and warm embrace, and yes, forgiving others and ourselves is still the best gift we can offer one another.
For God so loved the world that He gave us His only son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life... so the bible says.
So before the year ends, let us allow love to reign in our hearts. And all else shall follow.
May we all continue to enjoy the holidays and greet the new year full of faith, hope and love in our hearts.
So keep calm and give LOVE.
