Christmas. A Season of Hopes

Virgin Mary and young Jesus, fresco from Rila ...
It all began when the angel came to Virgin Mary and told her that he has orders from God to make her conceive a son to be named Jesus the Messiah.

Mary delivered her child in a miraculous and magical moment.
This moment is still alive till our days.
I believe it will still be alive forever.

At that moment the Angel told Mary that "nothing is impossible with God".

That Child was born amid a crisis that was eating the whole world financially, economically, socially and politically.
They called him The Savior and put all hopes in him.


Nothing is different today; same troubles, same crisis probably on wider scales.
Again, today it is all about hopes.
It is always about hopes.
Because nothing is impossible with God.

Nothing is impossible with God.
Those words are still living with us, and they are highlighted in our hearts and souls more when Christmas season starts.

Every Christmas season we try to revive the miracle and the magic of that moment, the moment when Jesus Christ was born and hopes flourished.

When we celebrate Christmas; decorate houses and streets, put gifts under Christmas Trees, have Christmas Family Dinner, we do all these hoping for the good to come back.

Because I believe Good has left us a long time ago and never came back.
Good left us to our devilish selves.
We took matters in our own hands.
And every thing went bad.
Very Bad.

We created unnecessary wars, we killed innocent people for selfish reasons, we discriminated, we intimidated, we stole, we lied, we deceived, committed every single sin in the books and created more sins to sin them.

Famine is not limited to Africa and spreading across the plant, and almost 90 per cent of the world population are suffering from food shortages.

Natural disasters have reached higher levels than any other time in history, except for the Sea Partition and Noah flooding.

Corrupted and crazy rulers are dominating and grasping most countries, putting this world at great jeopardy. Like in ancient days, history is repeating itself!

Christmas comes every year to renew faith, rise hopes and remind those rulers that Jesus Christ came in the first place to destroy rulers like them (mad and ruthless) if they do not come back to their senses.

Remind them of the gift-giving and the gifts they must give this world; peace and security.

Remind them that they have to find a way for desperate parents enabling them cheer their children with gifts that they can afford to buy.

Remind them to open all roads, ports, airports and make it easy for Santa to reach every house and put a gift to all its family members.

Santa is unable to bring his gifts.
He is missing the children and the children are missing him.

Remind them to abandon the ship of greed and false power and restart the ship of goodwill and justice.

Remind them to think for a moment about that moment when Jesus was born from a pure womb, to light the darkness of the whole world.


Remind them about rulers like them, played their roles in history to bring the present we are experiencing now.
So they can imagine what future they are building!

Also remind us not to give up hope.

Because Christmas Season is a season of miracles and magic, we hope more in this season that all our hopes are answered by God.

Because nothing is impossible with God.
