its been a tiring week and i just wanna take a break from everything.. from work, choir, friends and project j.. but with the camp just around the corner, i guess i have to hold on to that tot.
today, i wanted to do some x'mas shopping and also get somethings for the camp. but when i reached home, the skies open and it just dampen my spirits - so i wasn't very happy with the weather as it has been raining for the past few days.. mother nature has been having her way for the past few days. so here i was feeling sorry for myself n cursing my luck when i received a call from a friend who i knew was having problems back home but i didn't know what it was this time. as the conversation went by, i found out that this friend of mine was living w/o electricity as it was disconnected a few days ago. they are going thru a difficult period hence they have overlooked the payment which amounted to quite a bit and due to the current situation they are right now, they are paying it off slowly. which made me think that i take daily necessities for granted and feeling sorryfor myself for not being able to do my x'mas shopping.
i guess god made me realise that christmas is not about the gifts or clothes. its about reaching out to those who are less fortunate than us and let them feel the christmas spirit. a small gesture goes a long way and the true meaning of x'mas will be felt by everybody
