The true meaning of Christmas will always hold dear in my heart. But this Christmas, I feel no joy or excitement or merry. Buying Christmas presents was mechanical, for family and colleagues and friends.
I fractured my little right toe in November. More than 5 weeks ago. It is still swollen. Have not gone for a jog or badminton or what in a long while. Walked my Half Marathon in 3hrs 45mins under the hot sun. How sad is that?
Fed up with certain people in my life, near and not so near to me.
I simply bo-chap my cpu Rahab party. Hard work to prepare eng + chn carols and it gets thrown out by cpu leader. Even give everyone Youtube links & song lyrics via email like 3 weeks b4 to learn but I hear "its too difficult. I'll get church caroling team to come". Sigh........
Dad gone shopping for eye specialists agst my advice and the 2nd one today told him even more dire stories. He can see very well but is now bothered abt possibility of going blind from glaucoma or something else. At his age past 70, I don't need to be eye specialist to say, 'it could be glaucoma or ....... but we can't be sure". Prescribed multiple tests with fancy machines, Gives eye drops, eye cleanser and tablets, etc. Sigh......shop around and private specialists will tell you what you want to hear and yet not want to hear.
Wifey is.....sigh.
It's a rotten and depressing christmas season 2010.
Thankfully, even if I lose everything, I still got my Creator and Lord who loves me despite or in spite of everything because the bible says:
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written:
“ For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. [Romans 8: 35-39]
