Trailing our clouds of childhood in Baby Jesus

Meatai ntorrno nemeata nkiting'oto- There is no evil that has no end                                                 (Samburu saying- Kenya)

We are all going to participate in the Christmas festivities and celebration of Christmas Mass and we have all if not the majority are decorating their houses, homes and habitations with Christmas trees, cribs, lightings and making a complete overhaul in our respective houses.

Very interesting image passed over my mind that I felt I need to share with you as my Christmas thought, as you do what you are interested in doing at this moment of holidays. The image was that of looking into the baby’s eyes and seeing the joy and delight which can be found in that baby, for me that baby is baby Jesus (Divine baby jesus). 

I hope you will be able to like it as you decorate your christmas tree. Give a flash back to your own childhood, you saw the brightness of life, opened up to people and trusted, at the centre of your own universe.You felt free to express your emotions, you laughed, and you cried when you wanted to, you deserved to experience all that life had to offer, this was your birthright.

We come to full reality of who we are in baby Jesus, full of wonder, miraculously fixed to a thing or two that catch our eyes and heart. We used to love all, we could love ourselves maximumly, our sense of worthiness was intact, we had a full self-esteem. 

We felt good once we were in high self-esteem, we felt good about ourselves. We enjoyed challenges and we would take them head on whenever they came our way. We felt creative and we made things happen in our small world. The question is how do we feel like this now?

The baby Jesus has to give us a sense of our floated away glory image of our childhood. We have turned into adults of self defense so that we can protect our self-image. We have lived with a lot of mistrust of the world and even our very selves, and even the self-esteem has been lost in equal measure. 

Today many of us are moving around with low self-esteem that to some life has become self-destructive (drinking a lot, smoking a lot, driving carelessly, abusing everyone no matter who, where and when, lazy to even wash personal belongings, plates, eating and leaving a plate on the table expecting someone else to remove it, kneeling in church has become a nightmare, stopped receiving holy communion, or simply suspended Sunday mass until further notice).

We have another opportunity to change all the negatives into positive this Christmas before baby jesus. All roads should lead to church on the 24^th December Night mass, but above all your own heart to find your self-esteem. It does no good to go and see baby jesus in the crib yet there are still many unfinished business that Jesus wants you to change this christmas. 

I know we are all different in the way we handle our challenges or call them difficulties but the way of seeing a new baby changes our angle component of introspection.

Creating self-esteem is all about you, your individual ability to create for yourself a strong sense of self worth which, in turn, leads to high esteem. We are all called upon to make decisions, act spontaneously, express our feelings. You are a person who can make things happen in the way you want them to happen.

This Christmas enjoy your life fully, make what you want to be, and do that you love. Run your life around and in case of assistance ask, there are always good people around who respond with great heart and charity. 

Let us bring our woundedness, hurts, pains, difficulties to Jesus this Christmas, let us connect with our inner world of beauty and paint lovely colours of love, beauty of sentiments to someone special this Christmas. Allow yourself to be a person of wonder to others and others give flashing lights that beam your eyes and heart.

Happy Christmas to you all. 

Thanks for being there at time of need, those I met in all social media platforms and we simply connected. Receive my blessings for the New year 2018, may we remember what we promised in the beginning of this year and, yet we never  fulfilled. There is always an opportunity to always change things around and seeing them them in a way we want them to be seen and experienced.
