My Christmas's over the past few years have uniformly sucked. This year I decided I'd quit whining about what I couldn't have and make this Christmas really special. And I tried. I really did. But Christmas was Christmas as usual. Some nice moments, lots of hard work, and an amazing display of the power your family has to affect your mood.
That said, this Christmas was special for many other reasons. So many things have become clearer over the past few days. So many questions I've had, have been answered. Unexpectedly. Beautifully.
I don't normally write about religion. I do believe that everyone needs to believe in something, but that's for each one to find for themselves.
But this is Christmas. And I need to say this...
The world is going to hell and God isn't interfering. And I can understand His viewpoint. Most people today don't want him and don't believe in him. And as the world steps away from God, I can picture him sitting down resignedly and watching sadly as everything gets messed up. And I feel so sorry for Him. It must be so hard to see your baby turning away from you and telling you to keep out of his life. Because though the scrapes and cuts your baby gets when he's playing games with his friends don't matter in the end, it's hard to watch him fall and cry while you just stand by.
So this Christmas I'm praying for a little interference and a little meddling in my life in the year ahead. My life needs it.

I've been subjected to some pretty major "interference" and while there were times when I've complained and cried foul and screamed "no fair!", I think this past year, I was bloody darn grateful for some plain old meddling. God knows I couldn't have made it alone. :0)
Same to ya...

Good nah... [;)]
God does Interfere In Each & Everyone's Life...
He has His Own way of Interfering....
It's only dat we fail to Recognise His Way.
We need Courage to Recognise & Accept it...
Merry Christmas & a Successful New Year 2007.
The World's going through puberty, and GODDAMN them hormones aren't helping any.
And all I can say is, Welcome to the club, World.
That explains so much.
@ OJ - :) I used to keep hoping there's a plan, but now I'm pretty convinced we're playing a silly little game called life. And though I know it's a game, I know a little interference could make it a lot more fun.
@ candy tosser - Nice tree. And nice seeing you here. :)
@ broken-leg - I hope he sends some nice and clear signals to me this year. I'm only worried that I'll be listening so hard that I'll grab any passing whisper as a direction from up above.
@ suspect - Nah. Puberty doesn't make you as arrogant. I think the world is hitting that time in life when it thinks its got it made. It's got its cake and is eating it too...
@ tangled - I think so too. :)
I wish u a merry Christmas and suggest you read
NIGHT by Elie Wiesel
the plight and the questions asked by men to a god they believed in whil the were in concentration camps would give u a clearer picture...
@ pRicky - I'll read the book but I don't think I'd get a 'clearer picture' as you suggested. My 'picture' isn't something i've 'got. It's something I've chosen to believe. I've seen a lot of suffering and abuse, mental, physical, and sexual, and while I wouldn't pretend it doesn't make me feel like shit, it doesn't change the fact that I believe in an 'afterlife' of sorts compared to which this life would be a mere moment in time.
I may be wrong but that's what I choose to believe. It's the only thing that makes some experiences bearable.
@Karen: Interesting you should mention a plan. I once wrote a post about it called Once There Was A Plan :0)
Merry Christmas Karen. Yes it's a hard world. But there is a little magic dust still working miracles if you only look for it.
so christmas isn't magical anymore. so what? may be it isn;t the illusion we need, but the reality of humanity
oh man, what am i saying?
confused, but that's what having chaotic family-days can do to u!
saesons greetings to all!
life may not be that great, but we sure as hell are!
@Karen: what you believe is not too different from other illusions you see around you...
It really is up to what u believe but pain still tends to be relative to a person and no one esle can gauge it...
I hope u get around to good cheer...
there always is a chance things will turn for better...
Himans survive merely on that shitty thing hope...
