Dearest reader,

I can’t believe I haven’t written to you in almost three (3) months! I am so sorry. Will you please forgive me? 🥺

So much has happened, and I cannot wait to fill you in!

But first, how have you been? How has work and life treated you so far?

As for me, I’ve been basking in gratitude to God, and I’ve had quite a year! A tough but excellent year.

Two weeks ago, I attended a wellness event and we had a journaling session where we were asked to write 12 things we’re grateful for in 2023 (one thing for each month).

At first, I didn’t think I’d have anything to write because like I said, I’ve had a tough year. At the end of the session, I had almost 20 things to write! 20 things!

I’ve recently learnt this: “If you think, you will thank me!”

So here’s what I want you to do; sit down, reflect and write down 12 things you’re grateful for in 2023. And if you’re comfortable, you can share them with me in the comments. I’d love to read them 😊

Now…… The reason for today’s article…..

CHRISTMAS IS IN 3 DAYS! 🎊

Centuries before the humble manger in Bethlehem cradled the King of Kings, prophets spoke of a miraculous event that would unfold — a divine promise of hope and redemption.

“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” — ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This prophecy illuminated the path to a love so profound that it would change the course of humanity.

Picture this — a radiant star guiding shepherds and wise men to witness the arrival of a tiny baby, born in a stable, yet destined to bring immeasurable joy to the world!

As we navigate our challenges and triumphs, let’s reflect on the timeless significance of Christ’s birth. It’s more than a historical tale; it’s a timeless reminder of God’s enduring love, in the humble setting of a stable.

This Christmas, let the joy of this miraculous birth fill your hearts with gratitude and hope. Let it remind you of God’s unfailing love towards you!

May the sweetness of this season envelop you, dear reader, as we celebrate the enduring love that binds us together in faith.

I wish you a Merry Christmas filled with the warmth of love and the sweetness of divine grace. 🎊

Enjoy your Christmas Jollof too! 😉

All my love,

Oluwabukola 💛

PS: If you got this far, I have a Christmas gift for you 😊
