Was Jesus really Born on Christmas?

The learned, the unlearned, children, adults, men, women, Christians, atheists, everybody might have wondered at some point in their life, if Jesus Christ was really born on 25th December.
Many say that He wasn't even born in December, because He wasn't born during winter, while others argue that seasons shift and that's why we now have snow in December. Emotions fly over the roof as opposers and proposers try to explain their beliefs about the actual time of Jesus' birth.

And I love the fact that this time of the year brings a feeling of great joy all over the world, punctuated with bright lights, gifts, food, amazing songs, family time and more.

My Mum, for some reason, refused to tell us (her children) the date when she was born. However, we decided to celebrate her either way by just randomly choosing a date. In spite of the fact that it's not the actual date on which she was born, I love the fact that we get to celebrate her and let her know how much we love and appreciate her.

Whether Jesus was born in December or not, I sure choose to celebrate 25th December as the day that reminds me of the great sacrifice that God made by sending us His own son to wear flesh, knowing that His destination was the cross. I really would not want to give up the joy, happiness, love, miracles and everything else that Christmas brings to all of us.

When the angel met the shepherds on the night when Jesus was born, he said,
"... I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people."
Luke 2:10

And I love the fact that this time of the year brings a feeling of great joy all over the world, punctuated with bright lights, gifts, food, amazing songs, family time and more. 
"I would really love to celebrate the day that mirrors the actual day our Savior was born."

The Christmas season helps me to pause and focus on love; a big proportion of work is paused and we all get to show love to one another.

Don't let anything steal your merry from your Christmas!

A very Merry Christmas to you!
Till next Wednesday.
Stay blessed.

    We'll said... 25th December is a day that mirrors the actual day when our Savior and Lord was born. So whether we know the actual day or not, the fact remains that he was born. So we ought to celebrate.

    Merry Christmas to you too Diana

Overworked yet Underpaid, Solution.

Photo credit; Campus Move 101 Yes I agree with you, I might not be the perfect person to offer the solution, for the sorrow of being overworked but underpaid However you can still hear me out, please do. Since the percentage of graduates who are able to get jobs every year is very low, about 20%, many employees are in this sad situation of being overworked and underpaid since they are even lucky to have a job.  However even with some of the best paying jobs, we are still underpaid especially in Uganda. Most people work for at least 8 hours a weekday, and spend about 2 hours commuting, making it 10 hours, then sleep for also 10 hours per night making it 20 hours each day then we are left with only 4 hours of our lives and a weekend to live; to have quality family time, spiritual growth, give back to community, read, go back to school, relax, exercise, keep up with work assignments and follow up the side hustle. If you spend more than 8hours at work, tha...

Are you confused too? | Knowers and Believers

Image
Image from Freepik.com I love rules (strange, right?). I always love to know the rules and regulations not necessarily so that I may follow them, but to simply know how far inside or outside the line I might find myself at a particular point in time. There is a difference between knowing and believing, and I  am quite convinced that most of us do not fully distinguish between these two. We seem to think that we believe something, even though we simply have knowledge of that thing. For example, As a Christian, you know that God is your Father, you know that cattle on a thousand hills belong to Him, but when you are broke or troubled in any way, do you respond to that situation like a child of a president (God is the president of the world) would? Children of prominent people would rarely behave the way most of us do when we are broke; in most cases they'd be thinking of when they can get to talk to their father. Our actions usually reveal whether we simply know (about) something o...

Handling bad news

Bad News | The New Yorker A girl had gone away from home to go to college, and while at college, she wrote her parents a letter that said, " Since I left for college, I've been remiss in writing, and am sorry for my thoughtlessness and not having written until now. But I'll bring you up to date now. But before you read on, please sit down. Are you sitting down? Don't read unless you're sitting down! Well, am getting along pretty well now, the skull fracture concussion that I got when I jumped out of my dormitory window when it caught on fire shortly after my arrival here, is pretty well healed. I only get those sick headaches that I've been having now once in a while instead of everyday. Fortunately, the fire in my dorm and the jump was witnessed by an attendant at the gas station. He ran over, took me to the hospital and continued to visit me there. When I eventually got out of the hospital, I had no where to live because of the burnt-out conditions of my room...
