Silent Night, Holy Night!!!  The season is of a Blessed Christmas and a Propserous New Year.  This is a time to look back to the parting year 2006 and welcome the New Year 2007.

Every year at christmas time, we sense a change of mood.  There is an upliftment of the human spirit.  Christmas reminds us that no matter what the tragadies of life may be, there is a GOD given strength with in each of us to achieve the very best that we can make out of life.

We have had our fair share of woes this year and yet we have resiliently risen to the occasion and made life proud of us.  GOD has been so gracious that He always blessed us with everything good.  Can we ever sit down and make  a list of all the good things that have happened in our life, all the good things we have been encouraged to do, all the good words we have spoken, all the good values we have picked up as we lived in this passing year?

The greatest attitude we shall have during this season is that of gratitude.  GOD provides us with His energy and presence at every moment.  The Holy Bible says that GOD sent His only Son for the salvation of the human kind.  Aren't we then bound to be grateful toHim for opening our eyes to the fragile and weak human life.  GOD himself has set an example before us by winning over the world.

Our gratitude shall extend from GOD to all our fellow brethen, because GOD acts through them.  He comes to us through the people around us.  We have to be nurturing an attitude of gratitude to our parents, brothers and sisters, teachers, elders, friends and all those who help us to grow.  If we start counting, the list happens to be an endless one.  However GOD knows what has been granted to each one. Christmas makes us realize that we need to be joyous, because there is so much to be grateful for.  There is so much to be lived for..

We shall welcome the New Year 2007 with greater hopes and dreams, having a good amount of enthusiasm, hardwork and commitment.  

Once again wishing all  my friends A Blessed Christmas and  A Propserous New Year..............................
