Love, Hope and Being Thankful~

It’s hard to believe that 2025 is already coming to an end. This year feels like it passed so quickly! How has your year been going?

Next week is Christmas, and just thinking about it brings a sense of warmth and excitement. So Excited! Christmas is more than just exchanging gifts and doing decorations. For Christians, it’s a special time to celebrate the birth of Jesus. According to the Bible, Jesus was born in the small town of Bethlehem, in a humble manger. That story always reminds me that love, hope, and light don’t need to be loud or perfect, they often appear quietly, in simple and unexpected ways.

Today, people celebrate Christmas in many different ways—spending time with family, sharing good food, going to the church, or simply traveling and enjoying the moment. No matter how it’s celebrated, the heart of Christmas is about love, hope, gratitude, and caring for one another.

It’s also a wonderful time to reflect on this year, appreciate everything we’ve met, and think about what we’re thankful for. As we look toward 2026, may we carry a more grateful heart, renewed hope, and faith into the new year.
