Seasons Greetings - Feliz Natal!

Dear Friends,

Christmas is arriving, and some ask what is the true meaning of this holiday?

Amidst confusion on the shopping spree, it is hard to remember it is about a Birthday, of a poor small boy 2011 years ago in a small stable in Bethlehem!

His birth is remembered for his lifetime´s teaching, that reinforced the GOLDEN RULE:
to LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR as YOURSELF! (Mark 12:31)


But this year can be different! The best news this Christmas for me is

WAR IS OVER
(at least in Iraq)

John Lennon suggested this in his Christmas song form the ´60s, that I remember bellow:



Gifts are part of the celebration! But the picture below reflects the true meaning of Saint Nicolas gifts, presents to the children served as a reminder of the Kings that did so for the Boy 2011 years ago!

THIS IS THE SEASON THAT REMINDS US THAT 
LOVE IS WHAT GIVES JOY TO THE WORLD!


So that LOVE (AGAPE) is what I wish to you! 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
