I didn't plan to attend church but Manami, the student exchange girl from Japan that Sheng introduced to me wanted to attend church or Christmas celebration/party. So I had to go to church...
It's good to see so many new and young people in church but I can't believe that I have been spending so much time in church these few days. Like my whole day spent with the church (people).
One story Francis shared today.
There was a fire and a man and his son were in the building. The dad jumped down and then told his son to jump. The son said he was afraid. There was fire and smoke everywhere that the son couldn't see the father. The son said "I can't see you, dad.". The dad replied, just jump son, you may not see me but I can see you. Just believe and jump, I'll catch you.
Just like GOD, we may not be able to see Him because of the fire and smoke but that shouldn't be the reason to not believe that the Father can save us. We may not be able to see God but God can see us. So, just believe and take the leap of faith. Put your trust in Him.
The sketch today reminded me that we often celebrate Christmas without Christ.

A joke:
