Many things have been happening around here. All that can wait. Before I write next, it will be Christmas. I wish you a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS. May the new born babe of Bethlehem be with us all. You can be sure of our prayers. Please do continue to pray for us too. As sung by the Angels at the birth of Christ, “peace on earth” is the most necessary gift for our world. Basking in the glory of technological advancement, mankind as a whole have drifted far apart from each other. Relationships have become matter of fact and prejudices and preferences guide us more than reason and faith. I do not have to describe in detail whatever is happening around. We all know it too well and are directly or indirectly affected by it all. We need to remain sane and filled with faith. Let this be then our Christmas wish and prayer this year that Jesus really returns to our midst. That we begin to enjoy love and relationships in the stable than the indifference and coldness in the palaces.
