Nthawi zonse ndimakhala woipa pang'ono pa nyengo ya Khirisimasi. Nthawi zambiri pamakhala zambiri zochita mu nthawi yochepa: kukonzekera, kugula, kuphika; mndandanda umapitirira. Aliyense akuthamangira. Zimangokhala zochuluka kwambiri. Ine basi sindikuwoneka kuti ndikulowa mu mzimu wopuma ndipo nthawi zambiri ndakhala ndikuganiza kuti, "Choncho chiyani, palibe cholakwika ndi zimenezo."
Koma kenako pa chikondwerero cha Khirisimasi cha tchalitchi chathu, ndinamva chinachake chomwe chinandipangitsa kuganizira za maganizo anga oipa, ndipo ndinaona kuti sizinali zabwino. Wina analankhula za nthawi yodabwitsa ya chaka ichi: momwe zinali zoyenera kukondwerera chifukwa cha moyo wa Yesu. Anamaliza ndi kuyamikira kwambiri nthawi ya tchuthi.
Kodi ndinayamikiradi nyengo ino? Mawu a Mulungu amanena kuti nthaŵi zonse tiyenera kuyamikira, mosasamala kanthu za nthaŵi ya chaka kapena nyengo yake. Ndipo mu nthawi ino pamene tikukondwerera kubadwa kwa Yesu tiyenera kukhala oyamikira kwambiri.
"Mulungu anakonda kwambiri dziko moti anapereka Mwana wake mmodzi yekha kuti aliyense wokhulupirira mwa iye asatayike, koma akhale ndi moyo wosatha." Yohane 3:16 (NCV).
Ndinayamba kuganizira za Yesu ndi momwe moyo Wake wa kukhulupirika ndi nsembe ndi chitsanzo ndi thandizo kwa ine kukhala ngati Iye, wokondweretsa bwino kwa Mulungu, tsiku lililonse. Ndinalingalira za nsembe imene Iye anapereka chifukwa cha ine m'kutsika padziko lapansi monga munthu kotero kuti ndikhale ndi moyo wosatha. Ndinalingalira za ubwino umene ndinakumana nawo chaka chonse kuchokera kwa Mulungu, abwenzi anga, ndi achibale. Kodi zimenezi si zoyenera kukondwerera ndi kutamanda Mulungu? Kodi sindingayamikire bwanji nthawi imeneyi ya chaka?
Ndinasintha maganizo anga, ndipo ndikuthokoza kwambiri zikondwerero zimene Yesu amalemekezedwa. Ndikuthokoza kwambiri chifukwa cha zinthu zambiri zazing'ono zimene zingatheke kudalitsa ena panthaŵi imeneyi ya chaka. Madandaulo ndi nkhawa za zonse zomwe ziyenera kuchitidwa zimapangitsa kuti nthawi ya tchuthi ikhale yovuta komanso yamdima. Kuyamikira kumapangitsa kukhala kopepuka!

Senzanigoli langa ndi kuliika pa inu, ndipo phunzirani kwa ine, chifukwa ndine wofatsa ndi wodzichepetsa mumzimu; ndipo mudzapeza mpumulo. Pakuti goli limene ndidzakupatsani ndi lopepuka ndipo katundu amene ndidzakuikani ndi wopepuka." —Mateyu 11:28-30 (GNT).
