Christmas is..

COMINGGGG!!......how do I know? I saw the christmas decorations at Orchard Road last week whilst going to Tanglin Mall to meet M. Haha!

It's a declaration that christmas shopping NOW begins! Buying gifts for family, friends, colleagues, etc. Will anyone and everyone appreciate a hand-made card and not one which is commercially printed?

For sure, there's more to Christmas. A time when everyone hears through songs in the media, in shopping centres that Jesus Christ was born into this world, God becoming flesh and Jesus is the Saviour of the world in the end. Does it just go through one ear and out the next for those who haven't or don't want to consider the good news of what God has done for them, his enemies, of which I was one of them too?

There's definitely more to Christmas then what the world thinks it knows

Thought I'd attach pic above which looks quite christmassy. Took it in Finland during summer (Sep 06) using close-up mode on Nokia N73. An attempt to exercise some photography/artistic flair =)

Motivations...

...needed for everything we do?

God is light >> motivation to not sin against our Creator God?
1 John 1:5 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20john;&version=31;

God is love >> motivation to love others because he first loved us when we were his enemies?
1 John 4:16 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20john%204;&version=31;
