Oh sweet Christmas

I really enjoyed this Christmas even though it was BUSY with font size 100. There was such joy and satisfaction when I finally finished writing all the Christmas cards and baking all the cookies. Writing the cards was the most tedious part. Really spent nights decorating the cards, thinking about what to write, and laughing to myself as I recall all those memorable memories of 2009. I must have looked real psychotic laughing to myself as I wrote cards in the middle of the night.
It felt like I was at my most sincere! WAHAHHA. All my heart, love, sweat and blood went into doing it man.
After spending so much time with a friend, she is now down with shingles. ☹ Poor thing. Now she’s going to be sick and home alone. Glad we crammed as much fun as we could before that cause now she’s quarantined. ☹ And I really hate to say this but I feel extremely vulnerable now because I have NEVER gotten chickenpox.. Apparently I already have the virus in me… it’s just not activated. It better jolly well stay that way. Yes, my Lord will watch over me. ☺
There was one night where I couldn’t sleep after reading Ecclesiastes.
Eccl. 1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. 2 “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity.”
Meaninglessness: In Hebrew, Hebel means “vapour”, “breath’, hence something weak and fleeting-a vain and futile thing.
Does that mean that EVERYTHING we do is in vain and absolutely futile?
I was dumbfounded after reading it man. Another version uses the word meaningless. It is a very interesting book and as much as I do not like teaching because I have this fear that I will not be able to teach properly and the students will get nothing out of it, I am also partly excited to study it.
Ecclesiastes talks about finding meaning in life. Guess I find it very relevant to me because as much as I know that to have a purposeful life, God should be included in the picture in all that I do. But what does it mean? What about the wisdom I have? Are they really wise? What about my pride? What about being practical and wanting to live a comfortable life?
Questions oh questions. I really wanted to stab myself when I read the ending. Want to find out more? Go read Ecclesiastes. I will blog more about it after I study it. ☺
Till then…
Have a Merry Christmas! ☺
