Essence of Christmas


     Christmas has come around once more. A season when we celebrate the birth of Christ the king, the redeemer of mankind. But Christmas is not about the birthday of god’s son and that’s not also the reason why we celebrate and honor Christmas better than our birthday or any important anniversary in the family.
     If god really wanted us to celebrate it that way, god would have schemed Jesus’ birthday in the same fashion we celebrate it today. But he chose a simpler way to do things because he wanted us to celebrate the “essence” not the event.
     At Christmas, we are expected to spare time to contemplate on things eternal. That is, we must remind ourselves that we are strangers here on earth, that are real home is in heaven. And that no matter how long we live, we shall sure die one day.

Reflection

     In two months I've learned so many things that I can surely apply it to my daily life. We learned about things, about the internet,different engines, blogs and more      I know we all experience problem while we're studying, I experience not knowing to manage my time we'll,  I experience getting stressed. I also experienced getting lazy to do my tasks. I overcome it all because I have my friends around me, they are always there for me. And of course my family is the main reason why I keep in going on and I know that god will always guide me.      Moving on, I will try my best. I will try to focus more on my studies. I will always remember that there are so many people who are always gonna be there when I need them the most and that god doesn't give a struggle that we cannot overcome.
