From Holidays to Holy-days
The Holiday season is so special to many because it is such a beautiful time to gather with your love ones. The Holiday season of 1985-1986 was a time of struggle. I was experiencing a deep depression; my life had taken a downward spiral due to a set of events beyond my control. I remember that it got so bad for me in 1986 that I even contemplated suicide. I thank the Lord for His Grace and Mercy because He saw me through and brought me out of it. The time came when the Holiday season rolled back again in 1987, I viewed it with a fresh new perspective. It is as if my eyes and heart were brand new.
That's the year when Holidays turned into HOLY-days to me. I had a new point of view, to whom do we give thanks on Thanksgiving Day and why do we light up our homes for Christmas; because He, Jesus is the light of the world. My Joy, My Faith, My Spirit, My Soul were realigned back with God and I've never been the same. I find joy in every little thing. And my celebrations are not only these precious days that are on the calendar but everyday is a celebration for me because life is worth celebrating and the Giver of Life is my constant source of Joy and Strength.
Happy Holidays (Holy-Days) everybody.
Luke 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly host praising
God and saying,
2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, and God will toward men.
