Jesus is the Reason for the Season: A Heartfelt Reminder

As we approach the festive season, with twinkling lights, cozy gatherings, and the exchange of gifts, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of it all. However, amidst the flurry of holiday preparations, it's crucial to pause and reflect on the true meaning of this season: Jesus is the reason for the season.

Christmas, at its core, is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the savior of humanity. His arrival brought hope, love, and salvation to a world in need. The nativity scene reminds us of the humble beginnings of the Messiah, born in a stable, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger. This simple yet profound event embodies the essence of the season - the gift of God's love.

In the midst of the shopping lists and party planning, let's remember the spiritual significance of Christmas. It's a time to cultivate kindness, compassion, and gratitude. It's an opportunity to reflect on our own lives and how we can share the love and joy of Christ with others. Acts of kindness, charity, and spreading the message of hope exemplify the true spirit of Christmas.

So, as we decorate our homes, bake cookies, and gather with loved ones, let's not forget the reason for the season. Jesus' birth serves as a reminder of the incredible gift of love and salvation bestowed upon us. Let's celebrate with hearts full of gratitude and share the love that Jesus brought into the world with those around us. After all, the joy of Christmas lies in embracing the message that Jesus is the reason for the season.

"Walking by Faith: The Power of Belief - 2 Corinthians 5:7"

In the midst of life's uncertainties, challenges, and trials, the wisdom of 2 Corinthians 5:7 shines brightly: "For we walk by faith, not by sight." These profound words remind us of the importance of faith in navigating our journey through life.

Faith is a powerful force that transcends the limitations of our physical senses. It's the unwavering belief in something greater than ourselves, even when we can't see or touch it. This verse encourages us to trust in the unseen, to have confidence in the promises of God, and to move forward with conviction.

Walking by faith requires courage. It asks us to step into the unknown with confidence, knowing that God's plan is unfolding, even when it seems like we're walking in the dark. It's a reminder that our circumstances don't define us; our faith does.

When we walk by sight alone, we may be limited by what we can perceive with our eyes. But when we walk by faith, we tap into a wellspring of hope, resilience, and inner strength. We find solace in the fact that God is with us, guiding us through life's twists and turns.

In conclusion, 2 Corinthians 5:7 serves as a beacon of hope and a call to trust in the unseen. It encourages us to face life's challenges with unwavering faith, knowing that we are guided by a higher purpose. As we walk by faith, we discover the limitless potential of belief and the transformative power it holds in our lives.

Good Evening 🌆. Take a break. At Little Nonya Restaurant @ https://www.youtube.com/c/dianatan



This video showcases the vlogger's blood taking at Georgetown Specialist Hospital with Christmas Songs. The Christmas songs were added to suit the 'Season for the Reason.' Now blood taking can be nerve-wrecking for some people, but here, it is hoped that viewers and visitors will feel relaxed next time they go for such experience. The thumbnail took hours to create and it was the first time using a different software.

As the vlogger has purchased additional medical insurance, she is therefore, required to undergo a fasting blood test. No worries, nothing serious here.

It is hoped that this video will help those in need of a little prepping and motivation.

Above is a short video sung by Lady Gaga on a 'Take a Break' clip. Have your meal and chill. Life is to be enjoyed, not to plan schemes to bring other people down, so that you can rise up faster!!! When other's are grieving, you show them virtue. This is not because you are not only magnanimous, but also generous in soul and spirit. It is NOT in your nature to see others fall, so that you can silently laugh it off as a joke!!! And hopefully to win in the game called life!!! This is NOT how the universe works, people.

Life is Not a soccer game, see who wins and who loses. You are born to contribute to society and not be a 'devil in disguise' or 'wolf in sheep skin'. You are here to help humanity, not the other way around, helping your family and competing against people of fairer sex, or gentle spirit, etc.



Warning!!! For those who get jealous easily seeing food videos, may I suggest that you get out immediately. Because this blog is not for you!

For those who like to stay on, here it is:-

This is the vlogger's dinner with her family from her Mum's Seafood Treat on 5th November 2021. This video is to commemorate Mum's Seafood Treat on 5th November 2021 while mum is in her golden years of 83 years of age and still going strong. Wishing her more prosperity and longevity.



Time for another break. Enjoy Penang Chendul or Chendol. This local dessert consists of pandan flavored green noodles, coconut milk, 'gula melaka' or palm sugar for the brown coloring and fragrance, cooked red beans and lots of shaved ice. It is popular here in this warm climate here in Penang, Malaysia. The coldness from the dessert helps to cool down the heat from countries such as Malaysia that is located near the Equator.
