Merry Christmas



Christmas for me is a time to reflect on all the happenings that unfold throughout the year. This is the time that I get to reminisce the amazing roller coaster of life. Every day I thank the Lord for everything.

Growing up I have these etched in my mind and heart:

The Serenity Prayer
Lord give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

Psalm 46:10
Be still and know that I am God

John 16:33
Take courage for I have overcome the world

Let us remember the real meaning of Christmas. My prayer is for God to continue to shine His light on each and every one of us. :)

Awwwww, so thoughtful of him. ;-)

Lunar Eclipse and Winter Solstice 2010

Today I am sad and a bit disappointed that I missed this rare cosmic appearance during the lunar eclipse on winter solstice. I can't believe how I let this pass. =(

I was on my way home yesterday after work and I noticed how the moon was so beautiful and I even gazed longer as soon as I parked my car at home just admiring the beautiful creation of God. It was so bright that the white snow on the ground, the bare trees, the outdoor Christmas lights and the cool weather makes the sight more festive. So how did I miss this again?

Everyday, I normally check my emails or any random news on the web but for some reason, the entire day yesterday I didn't get the chance to do it which means this is the reason why I did not get the memo about this appearance in the first place (lol).

To top it all, my husband and I normally go to bed late but because we were tired over the past weekend's party that we attended over a friend's house, the tiredness started to kick in so we decided to go to bed early. (See what I mean?)

I woke up around 1:30am and again at around 3:30am to get water but because I didn't know about this, I went straight back to bed. (What a shame =) ) Alarm goes off at 5:05am and I started preparing my husband for work and by the time I sent him off, I even mentioned to him "Look at the moon, so beautiful", still oblivious that just 2 hours ago there's a magical moment that already occured. (Ugh)

And of course it did not end there hahaha, as soon as I headed back to bed, I checked my Facebook news feed on my phone and there it was- comments after comments from those lucky ones that got to see it. I texted my husband right away and told him, "Why does this have to happen everytime when everyone is asleep? Perhaps, God wants it to be on the wee hours of the morning because that's when people are still so we get to appreciate the beauty of His amazing creation????????"  Perhaps...............

Happy Birthday Mama

A birthday greeting ecard for your mother by things-to-say.com: "It's all the little things you do
That makes my life worthwhile
A little kiss upon my cheek
Always makes me smile

Your endearing words
That you send my way
Is all I need
To make my day

So many little things you do
Too numerous to mention
All of them I dearly love
They get my full attention


Happy Birthday Mama!!! Missing you always. Mwah =)

I love you!

My Grown Up Christmas List

This is my all-time favorite Christmas song! Happy Holidays! =)

 

My Grown Up Christmas List

Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies

Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
 And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree

Well heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
(there'd be)

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my grown up christmas list
This is my only life long wish
This is my grown up christmas list
