Message of happiness and joy

by Jaime Abesamis

This Christmas season, we should be happy because Jesus is born. God sent us a savior to save us from our sins.

We should praise God for all the love He has given us. Despite the things that make us unhappy, like the pandemic and the typhoon, we should rejoice that God was with us from the start until now and He has supported us in these times. We should be thankful for the blessings God has given us this year and sing praises to him. We should be happy for what God has given us - His gifts of love and mercy. If we remain faithful to him, God will give us rewards.

Christmas is a time for us to be joyful and happy. We should be joyful by helping the typhoon victims who lost their homes. We should share our stuff to them and pray for them. We should pray for those who lost their jobs and also give money donations to them so that they’ll never lose joy and happiness. We should pray for those who were affected by the pandemic that they may be healed and they return home. We should always remind ourselves of the blessings we have and be thankful for them everyday.
