Why Be Happy for Christmas


At Caritatea last weekend in Cluj, we were blessed to partake in the their bible group’s Christmas gathering. The members of this group have experienced pain and rejection due to limitations with a disability. Here everyone is accepted and has genuine fellowship. A poem was recited with each person presenting different verses. The beautiful Romanian language was uplifted as a gift and praise.

A message was given and the question was raised, “why be happy for Christmas?” The reason of the hope and joy of Christmas all stems from the perfect gift already given. It was evident being among this group that whatever pain was experienced among them it was not their focus in life. An eternal hope and peace was clear to see and feel.
Merry Christmas!
