Lord, to be honest I don't know how I will celebrate this Christmas – you know, a lot of things had happened to me. But looking around, seeing my family and looking back to my life, I have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for. From time to time I keep on losing my sight of You and I keep on letting You down but still You're here, still guiding me every time I stumble. Thank You for that. Thanks for giving me a wonderful family -- thank You for my wonderful and loving parents who never gives up on me. Thanks a lot for my friends who have never left my side. Had all these problems didn’t happen, I wouldn’t have known who my true friends are.

Thank You for giving Yourself to the world to redeem us from our sins. Thanks for teaching us the value of humility and kindness. Thanks for letting us know that we needn't extravagant gifts or a feast of foods to celebrate Your birthday -- we just need to have You.

You are the greatest gift a person has received, not only for this Christmas, but for eternity. Happy birthday Jesus! I love You!

Heidy.
