We are the reason!

Posted by Dawn at Thursday, December 13, 2007
Christmas is around the corner and as usual, people are busy doing their Christmas shopping till late at nights,



busy organising Christmas dinners for their families or friends, making a trip to Orchard Road to catch the Christmas lights and decorations,



taking advantage of the sale,


making use of the promotion to get free gifts from shopping centres when you purchase a certain amount and above etc etc...



What are you doing to prepare for Christmas?



I know for myself, I am racking my brains to think of appropriate gifts for my family and friends. Buying a gift for them is not something I just grab at a shopping centre and purchase. It takes deep thinking- do they need it? how practical would it be? more importantly, will this bring a smile to their face?

Buying gifts for babies or toddlers is much easier I feel because they do not yet know how to complain and any gift would bring them joy..such simple joy...

With all these busyness and hype, every year in December is a time for me to reflect of all that has happened throughout the year and how I can improve next year. It is also a time where I re-dedicate myself to the Lord for I know that without Him, I wouldnt be where I am today. With heartfelt thanks to God and joy, I celebrate my Christmas.



Here is one of my favourite songs I'd love to share with all of you as you spend your Christmas(turn on your speakers).

Do just take a moment this season to think of the meaning of Christmas and give Christ some thought because WE (you and me) are the reason that He gave His life...

With that in mind, what is your response? May you find meaning and purpose in your life and that you know so clearly what you are living for.

Have yourself a meaningful Christmas!!


We are the Reason

As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

*We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain
All because of love
All because of love

I finally found the reason for living
It’s in giving every part of my heart to Him (every part to Him)
And all that I do every word that I say (you know I’ll be saying)
I’ll be giving my all just for Him, for Him (every thing for Him)

We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give (all that he could give all)
To show us the reason to live

He is the reason to live
(don’t you know do you know the reason
that he came, oh he came to save us
when he gave his life for us) he suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave everything (everything that He had He gave)
To show us the reason to live
