Just a day till Christmas...
IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS by jadeswallow
It's almost Christmas - let us be still
It's not about our presents, but peace and goodwill
It's not merely about family, but God's relation to man
He sent His own begotten Son to bring salvation's plan.
It's almost Christmas - please stop for a while
To wonder at this plan, and ponder with a smile
That God, the Almighty, should even consider us
When He created the world and the whole universe.
It's almost Christmas - let us, with joy,
Remember the angels, the shepherds, but mainly the Boy
Remember the wise men, gentle Mary and faithful Joseph
But mostly the loving Saviour who came down to serve.
It's almost Christmas, let us look up
As we feast, as we dine, or as we sup
He's coming again - this was and is His promise
Let us be ready - it could be this Christmas!

Let It Go
A few days before the yearly visit back to Malaysia last year, the Swallow went to watch the movie 'Frozen' with her young ones. It was a tale of two sisters whose love for each other helped them to overcome certain obstacles that came their way. Along their road of self-discovery, they realized what true love was all about - an act of sacrifice. A Disney production, this musical animation was a pleasure to watch, and the song 'Let it Go' was an instant hit with the Swallow, her young ones, and her very young niece who could be heard singing this song at the top of her lungs in the bathroom :)

Anticipation
Another year has gone, a new year has arrived. The year 2013 has simply flown past!
What awaits the Swallow in the year 2014? It would be 'Anticipation'. With talks of A&A works in her church, there is a sense of anticipation as she and her fellow workers prepare for temporary removal and relocation.
Was this what the Israelites had felt in their hearts as they waited for God to tell them it was time to leave Egypt? Was this what the apostles had felt as they waited for the coming of the promised helper after Jesus had returned to Heaven?
Yet there lies a greater anticipation...the Lord Jesus is coming again...let's be prepared!
