GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #181

Merry Christmas!

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was:’Good Morning Message #180‘.

Good morning Friends,

If someone asks: ‘How’s Christmas to be celebrated?’
You may respond, ‘With carols, wine and cake.’
After all, for one full year you have waited,
To enjoy the Christmas holidays and the break.
But, there is something still amiss,
Which you can’t totally dismiss.

If Christmas was all about wine and cake only,
Without assimilating some qualities of Christ;
Then you have made Him, indeed, very lonely,
In vein, His life for you and me, was sacrificed.
Christmas is as much about emulating Christ,
As it is about celebrating Christ.

If someone, because of us, can’t obtain,
Some flicker of Faith, Hope and Love;
If someone close continues to suffer in pain,
There is no point to rejoice in Christ above.
Christmas without kindness in your heart,
Shall make all celebration fall apart.

So lets’s at least one quality of Christ assimilate,
And spread His message through our deeds;
Then only we have a right to truly celebrate,
Someone who lived and died for our needs.
Merry Christmas my dear friends,
Let’s start the day by making amends.

Let Christ be born in our hearts too!

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
