A Christmas Message!

Mama, Why doesn’t Father Christmas come to our house and bring happiness in our lives too?” asked Censorial. She is a poverty stricken little girl who lives on the corner of the street. The clouds are her ceiling and the bare ground her home. ‘He will certainly do so some day, dear”, replied her mother. There was a trace of sadness and emptiness in her voice.

There are many more such miserable voices which can be heard all around the world even on the auspicious occasion of Christmas. But do we even care to listen to them?

No, we don’t! We all are so busy and content with our lives, our comforts, our luxuries and gifts that we completely forget about these poor souls. And if we do listen to them, our answer is a discouraging “What can I do?”

But no, you can do a lot and you are the only one who can do it. Why wait for an angel to come from heaven and help these needy people? In our incredible bliss we often forget the main theme of Christmas. Christmas is certainly a time for merry making and enjoyment but not only for you but for all others too! And for us jubilant people it is also the right opportunity to help the disadvantaged!

Spend a happy Christmas but put your full efforts to make this a happy Christmas for someone else too. I’m sure you would not mind if you chose one gift from your gigantic collection and offered it to a deprived soul to stop them from spending another day without a morsel of food!

I too did the same but didn’t fell a tinge of sorrow by giving that beautiful doll to a poor little girl. And the change in her was tremendous. Her tear washed face was now bright and joyful! I loved it when I heard a sweet “Thank-You” from her. Instead of any kind of misery on offering her the gift, I felt a sense of inner pride and self-satisfaction.

That underprivileged person is also similar to you and me. So why do we feel ashamed of the poor? Lord Jesus, the Savior was also born as a poverty stricken boy in a small little stale. He was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth along with grand clothes and luxury! Don’t you think this is the biggest message for you to help those who are not as fortunate as us?

I wish you all a Happy and Merry Christmas! May Santa come to your home too and shower your abode with happiness and delight! But please don’t forget my Christmas message and make this a cherished Christmas for yourself and another unfortunate soul!
