TIME FLIES

Time flies!

Yes, I am referring to the actual seconds, minutes, hours that have gone past even as I type!

Do you know that the phrase "Time Flies" is worth (I think) USD250,000 (or was it in millions?)when TIME magazine engaged an advertising company in (I think) the mid 80's to promote that their magazine will be readily available because it will be shipped out, by air, of course! Two simple words and the rest is history.

It reminds me of three words spoken on the cross that also shaped history. "It is finished" Jesus said as He breathed His last (physical life). It also signified the completion of the "mission" God has assigned Him to do - to save the world through His sacrificial death - only those who have faith to believe in Him and His death and His resurrection.

During this Advent season, let us pause to be reminded why Jesus came into this broken world.

Spare a thought for those who are less fortunate. Cheer them up, in whatever way you feel comfortable in doing - giving financially or volunteering in some charitable organisations.

May the good Lord bless you with His abundant grace.
