Happy Christmas!
Happy Christmas!
Today we celebrate something wonderful, the birth of a small baby. And just like the joy that surrounds any birth of new life, it is an exciting thing to remember and share with the world. But this birth was so different from any other baby born in our world today, yesterday and in the future. From humble beginnings lying in simply a pile of straw, this baby would go on to challenge love and create a whole new level of love for the world that He so desperately wanted to save. With His whole being He lead a life purely for you. For you, and for me and ultimately for love. Little did those parents, shepherds and wise men know just what or who they were witnessing. Jesus Christ, the saviour of the world and my saviour and best friend, was born to show a furious and unstoppable love.
So I hope you all have a wonderful time with your friends and family, unwrapping your presents, eating too much and watching the inevitable BBC Christmas movie and double bill of Eastenders, but take this day as a gift. Enjoy time with those you are with no matter what the circumstances, be thankful (whoever you end up thanking) for what you have and above all, just love. Love today, love Christmas and love those who need it.
Amen.

Personification: Self Esteem.
Hi Self Esteem,
Hey mate! How are you? What do you mean you're awful? I was counting on you being really brilliant. Wow, that's sad news.
I have been meaning to write for a while to bring up a few things that have been troubling me, probably not best that we talk about it whilst you're in such a fragile state. I don't want to be accused of kicking you when you're down but there are some annoyances that cannot be kept silent for much longer.
I've been finding it quite difficult lately to juggle your moods. One minute you're up, the next you're down, and I'm not finding that it's very helpful for our relationship. It is a relationship we have, somewhat of a friendship, and like all good friendships they do have their ups and downs but I find it's useful if most of those times are ups. This has not been the case of late.
I've got some helpful advice I hope you don't mind me sharing... you shouldn't need a constant reassurance to be up. It's not healthy for you to resemble a fuel tank that needs refilling by nice comments and reassurance. Obviously these things are great, but they should be more of a bonus that compliment your already strong existence. No one likes a whiner.
Anyway, I hope I haven't come across brash, I know how difficult it must be for you to move with the moods of your owners and especially if that owner is a) female b) mid twenties c) me. But you're doing okay, just work on being okay most of the time, it makes it much easier for me and many others around me.
Great. Glad that's sorted.
Yours in worry, woe and empathy,
Emmah xo
