Anna’s Diary!

Anna and anita have been friends since childhood. They even attend the same high school. School had gone on break and anita needed to join her parents for the Christmas break. She left shortly after vacation,leaving anna lonely. Christmas day is finally here,anna sighed as she returned from church. Anna leaved in a very big storey building,roomed at the last partition upstairs. When ever she looks outside through her window,she could see the whole city like she was watching a movie. On this fateful Christmas eve,anna looked outside and suddenly, tears rolled down her cheek. She couldn’t keep a stiff upper lip,she took her pen and began conversing with her diary. She tagged it “The Abuse Of Christmas”!
       The streets were humming with life as I looked through my window. I saw and beheld young people,male and female paired up,like the social insects do when they’re about to carry out a nuptial flight. This evening is all about “FUN” they said. Anna continued,I will spoil you a little echoed from the street hitting the walls of my very room. Unknown voices chanting,I guess. Fathers of children visited the bar, eating and drinking like Christmas gave them a day off from work. Cuddling ladies,young enough to be their daughter to the abode of fain pleasure. Tears kept rolling down Anna’s cheek as she conversed further. Mothers,sons and daughters along side thronged the streets. Some partying in clubs,others looking for a mate.
    I wonder why they did so,anna probed? A savior to these ones came,bruised and despised. He came to save them but yet,they neglected his love. Forgetting the celebrant while celebrating. They hosted sin in their chambers and went beyond hades in search of pleasure. “They Abused Christmas”  they failed to understand the times,and the significance of this day. “Christmas is only but a reminder that for “You” a savior came. Be sober and reflect. Hum the streets in search of souls. Oh,the swaddling clothes, oh the manger, oh Christmas you gave to mankind a great gift and even to ME. Anna became misty eyed,she had to stop conversing. She closed her eyes and crooned…..dear lord thank you for Christmas.

Merry Christmas dear friends.Hope you didn’t celebrate today in oblivion. Jesus is the reason for the season! Reflect and be sober. He came to woo your heart. Has he penetrated your heart? Do you love him? Don’t sleep today without making things right with him!

This is my last post for this year dear friends. Hope you were blessed all the way.

I love you all❤
