• VIOLETKAWONI'S HOUSE OF SCROLLS

  Hello, it is Christmas eve and i  went to communion at my church this evening and it was a beautiful and special experience unlike anything I have known before. I was not sure what to expect but i thought it would be a congregation meeting as that was what I have known in the past though I have never been on Christmas eve night, and I am glad that I went.

  It was a small family communion as the pastor saw each  family group singularly. I was there with my sister-in-law, my cousin and her daughter. The pastor talked with us in a personal way as family to him, for we are of his church family and he told of the night that  the disciples had the Lord's Supper with Christ and how they must have acted being cheerful and light hearted, and how Christ strove to see that they understood  the meaning of the body and the blood of Christ symbolic in the bread and wine which he shared with them.

  As I partook of the bread and wine which we dipped rather than sipped I thought of the sacrifice Christ made on the cross to wash away our sins and before I swallowed tears were in my eyes and streaming down my cheeks, for I knew His love and  his Father's love for us is the greatest love that can be.

  more than 2000 years ago Christ was born in a manger to the Virgin Mary and it is that special and holiest of events that matter tonight not the commercialism of Christmas as we know it today. What many people forget as they get caught up in the rush of gift giving is that the greatest gift given or received is love in the heart and a true sincerity to help others and think of them rather than  themselves and what they find under the Christmas tree. We should be honoring God for loving us enough to send his only begotten son to save us from our sins. His gift is the gift of life, the gift of hope, the gift of salvation, the gift of love and  ours is to have faith and believe and we shall be saved. God is great. God is  good. Glory be to God. We are blessed.

  I love you, Jesus.

  I love you, Father,  Lord of All, the great I AM.

  I pray that this coming year be a truly great improvement in the quality of life for everyone all over the world.

  God bless us every one. Amen, and have a  wonderful year's end and a better New Year coming.
