Glad to welcome you back, friends. Merry Christmas! Today is Christmas Eve, and as we prepare for the celebration, I want us to keep a few things in mind. In this season of giving and goodwill, even as we gather with our loved ones, light up our homes with Christmas lights, and share the warmth of the festive season, let us find inspiration in the story of Christmas. Let us reflect on the true essence of Christmas. Christmas is about God giving His best gift to us. He gave His only begotten son so that we can all be saved and enjoy an abundant life. In that life, we have peace, joy, happiness, success, good health, and all the beautiful things that we would ever want. We are not fatherless. We are not hopeless. He said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Glad to come your way again, friends. This is that time of the year when there is so much joy and happiness in the air. It’s Christmas season, everyone is happy, and we are all celebrating something.

Thank God for His goodness and mercy over us and our families. Warm greetings and compliments of the season to you, friends. How are you enjoying this season?

Dear friends, I have good news. Christmas is not only about wining and dining; it is also about the good news of Chris...

A warm welcome back to you, dear friends, after a while. It’s been three days. I’ve been a bit engaged with things – activities, work, family, events… and so on. Thankfully, it’s all good news!  Thank God for His goodness and faithfulness. And thank you, friends, for your love and support throughout the year. I appreciate your comments and ideas on my blog and in my DMs. You’re so amazing! How has the year been so far for you? It’s already end of the year. This year has passed so fast that I hardly keep tabs on the beginning of the new months. Friends do send me cheerful “happy new month” messages, which remind me of the seamless passage of time. (smiles) A lot has happened this year, from personal issues to general events. Perhaps there were plans that you made at the beginning of the year—how many were you able to achieve? Did you feel the year has been fulfilling for you so far? What do you think happened this year that made all the difference in your life? Do you think you are ...
