Christmas and My Birthday

This years Christmas day was a dull one for me...i got fever and cold ...FLU ...on 24th i have asked my management for a day off . My plan was to "adichupoli" the Christmas day with friends. :( but God had another plan for me ... he told me to take rest... :( ..24th evening i was having mild fever ..so i couldn’t attend the midnight mass... i missed it ..i was really looking forward for that as i too was there in decorating the stage where the midnight mass was to be held (midnight mass of Christmas and Easter is not celebrated at church, bcoz there will be a huge crowd that day and our church cant accommodate all.. so its conducted at the Sacred Heart School ground in "Isa town"...a town far from Manama)...

On 25th i was shivering with fever , still i went to church to attend the mass at 9:00 am...after that i called home ,felt very sad. I miss them really . when i came back to my room everyone was ready for celebration , we cut the Christmas cake.. and i went to bed ...i was that much tired ...i couldn’t eat anything ...i took some medicines... and my friends had an awesome lunch... ..evening i was feeling better ...

26th -- My Birthday .. i was feeling better ...i went to office ... my friends called me and wished me ...and everyone reminded me that its time that u think about family life :D (i think i should take that advice seriously)...... evening i went to church ..i was happy that there was adoration in the church...for one hour i sat there ..thanking god for whatever he has given to me in his life.. my parents, brother , sister, friends, good job..etc etc... when i thinking about my past, i found how beautifully he has molded my life ...but still sometimes i quarrel with HIM. asking this and that ..asking why this happened in my life ..why U couldn’t provide me that....etc etc ...but am sure whatever happens in my life is for my good only ...am really thankful to my Lord.


Below is two photos of our Christmas crib at Church... Yeah our crib at churh is really big ..

Belated Birthday Wishes! Christmas far away from home and family is really sad, but then you had good friends to make up for it. Even I get very instrospective during Christmas. My Christmas wish this year was that I get to enjoy a Christams mass inside a church rather than outside as all churches are jam packed in Bangalore. And...if it is a Malayalam Mass, then nothing like it! :)

Great Crib.
