Philippians 4:4, Rejoice in the Lord always, and again i say rejoice.
It is time to be joyous, time to celebrate life, time to celebrate the birth of a savior, time to rejoice in the Lord now and always, the journey had not been easy definitely that is obvious, may have perished in the storm that took the world by surprise.
If we have life today than certainly we ought to rejoice for it is not by our might or our strengths but the might and power of the most high, some Grace and unmerited favor that located us. Rejoicing in the Lord now is more important more than ever for it is our way of showing appreciation for the love and protection and life we have been spared.
And so as we draw closer to this festivities, forget all problems, forget all disturbances, forget everything just be grateful and live life to the fullest.
