Merry Christmas

Beloved happy Christmas,
To our mothers in the house you can imagine the labour pains Mary had started experiencing and now given birth. The angels had concluded their rehearsals and now singing. The shepherds had made plans for tomorrow like any other day but now experienced a divine encounter. The wise men were busy studying, observing and contemplating now following a star. Herod was busy gloating soon will soon shiver. Joseph was busy making arrangements and now Jesus is born to come as the One the world eagerly expected and longed for, to save the world.

So how are we celebrating Christmas? The mass of Christ, the day set aside from 366 days to mark the birth of our Saviour?

No matter the turkey, chicken, rice, oil, dress, shoe, money, and others we have or do other have, Christmas will come and the heavens and earth shall sing and celebrate because that's exactly what happened on the first Christmas! 

Joseph and Mary had no bags of rice, Christmas clothes or shoe. But Jesus was born. Their travelling was not by choice but they had a safe journey (as would as any here that have and will travel to and fro, amen). They had no money but ended the day with gold, frankincense and myrrh all gifts for baby Jesus. 

So what are your expectations for this 2018 Christmas? What gifts are you expecting from God? What gift are you giving Him? 

Happy Christmas and have a safe, blessed and joyfully happy day

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...
