The yuletide season is moving very quickly, and everyone needs to stay active and focused to ensure we have a smooth and successful celebration. It is wonderful to realize that we are already in December—the festive month that many people look forward to. During this period, most people try to put many things in place so that the celebration will be memorable and joyful. When I saw the theme for this last edition of the year, it did not surprise me at all. The pressure of the season is increasing every day, and this makes it important for us to plan wisely. Without proper planning, what should be a time of joy can easily turn into a season of unnecessary debts. This is not the time to be careless or to overspend and end up in financial trouble.
I am truly grateful to the management team for their efforts in ensuring that every week has meaningful activities for all participants. Their commitment has made the year more engaging and productive. Sincerely, 2025 has been a wonderful year, and I appreciate everyone for their contributions and hard work.
The theme for this season focuses on the festive period, my plans, and how I hope to conclude the year. The end of every year naturally gives us the opportunity to reflect, reconnect, and make corrections where necessary. As I write this, I have several goals I want to accomplish before the year ends. By God’s grace, next week I will be traveling with my team members for an outreach in a rural community. This outreach has become our annual tradition, and it always brings a lot of impact to the people living there. It brings me great joy to be able to put smiles on the faces of others. Helping people is one of the greatest passions of my life, and I cannot imagine doing less. Spending time with the less privileged gives me a deep sense of fulfillment because it means that someone who was forgotten is remembered in this season.
After returning from the outreach, I plan to visit my parents in the village and pray with them. This visit will also give my children the chance to receive heartfelt blessings and prayers from their grandparents. If time permits, we hope to visit some friends we have not seen for a while, just to exchange greetings and maintain our relationships.
If I had the opportunity to rename the month of December, I would simply call it “Christmas Season.” From the very first day of the month, many churches and organizations begin their carol services and Christmas programs. My family and I have already attended several of these events, and even today, another program is coming to an end. Sharing these moments has been truly refreshing.
It has also been some time since I last moved my family around for a special visit. By God’s grace, this weekend we will be going to my spiritual father’s house for an appreciation service and fatherly blessings. It is a great honor for me to be part of this important moment in his life.
Finally, as the year concludes, I plan to set aside a few days for a personal retreat. During this retreat, I intend to reflect on my life, take stock of the entire year, and make clear projections and prayerful plans for the new year ahead.
