“And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven”-
"Luke 1:76-78"
When I think about Christmas, I usually compare Brazilian and Scottish celebrations. Generally as every where, people go shopping and buy, and buy, and buy. That is absoulutely beautiful for the economy of our countries. But, the true meaning of this date should be in our heart.
Give...just give without waiting anything back. Because it is better to give than to receive.
Love...because love cures the pain.
Laugh...because a good laugh is better than cry.
Cry....because if you are happy, a tear that rolls from your eyes makes me pray.
Pray...because you are chosen by God. And it is a blessing.
