yeah....Things will only get better

Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sinned against us;
do not bring us to the test,
but deliver us from evil.
Deliver us, Lord, from every evil,
and grant us peace in our day.
In your mercy keep us free from sin
and protect us from all anxiety
as we wait in joyful hope
for the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

For the kingdom,
the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.

Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles;
I leave you peace, my peace I give to you.
Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church,
and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom
where you live for ever and ever.

Amen.


The very first prayer I was taught. Somehow this is extremely special to me. Was listening to 90.5 earlier in the evening, well there's this song that had this prayer as it's lyrics. It really struck me, real hard. Have I not been pious enough in my faith? Or is there something that is waiting to be done? I seek not from anyone but from the Lord Himself.

As I share with you, the very same prayer that I learnt, may peace always be with you and your loved ones this festive season and may God bless you.

I'm not too sure if this is a seasonal thing as well, but somehow during the month of Decemeber I become very emotional. I haven't really noticed it until yesterday. As I reflect back on my life for the past 10 years or so, somehow the most intense emtions were displayed during this period.

While I don't intend to conduct an emphircal test to prove this, I believe some retorspective kind of reflection should be sufficient. This is the season of love, this is the season of joy. While I may think that I do not have someone to share my joy with, in actual fact I do have people whom are every ready to share my sorrows with. Dad, Mom, brothers and sisters, in fact all those around me. These are my gifts from God.
