[JOYnet] An Open Heart and a Free Mind for Baby Jesus
Hi Dear Friends Did Jesus take birth in me So one more Christmas is over and hope u all had baby jesus born in my heart.My sister was here and I was thinking how I would welcome him since the whole day I will have to be with her. During the Midnight Mass baby jesus gave me a small thought.What have you for me???. I thought and told him to come AND TAKE MY HEART Yes he came into my heart and was with me till the evening.At about 6:00 PM my sister left and I felt lonely.Over and again the Holy Spirit was saying to me that the Holy Trinity was within. Last Easter my sister had come to stay and the Mother at a nearby convent had allowed her to stay there.I called the particular mother who is now at Tirupur the place where my sister is studying She told that my sister did not even call her. I felt bad and called her to ask her to call the same Mother.I told her to take down the number and she told me that she cannot do it today since she was new to the house she was staying for the day and the children were making all sorts of noise. I told her that it was of no use telling to her and she started crying.I felt bad only then and asked her Sorry since she was my sister and I cannot bear her cry. Jesus told me still he was there and I was comforted and after a while he gave me another thought that my family is also important asked me not to break family ties by way of small mistakes(had I not spoke rudely she would have not cried) and had I recieved him when he said He was there before the ph call nothing of this sort would have happened.I am requesting all to pray for my sister so that she is comforted by the lord and would my cheerful old sister when I would call her in the evening.Thats all He has comforted me and is still in me.Now I feel a lot free as I share you the my experience. I was thinking of saving something for Christmas for helping someone and had asked baby jesus to help me find a way.We had gone to our aunty's house for Christmas to wish them and we had planned to go to a hotel for lunch. But as we were about to leave my uncle asked me where were we going and I told him to a Hotel.thats it he would not allow me. So I was able to save that money for some good.We had a great lunch there. So thats all flocks it takes just an open heart and a free mind He will come. He will hold you. Yea He Took Birth in Me deep in my Heart With Love and prayers in the name of Jesus Mary and Joseph Shobith Coimbatore _ Join SQAtester.com Community --- http://www.sqatester.com/testersarea/joinus.htm This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] A funny Carol experience!
Dear Joynetters, I remember, some 15 years back when our diocese was newly formed, the parish was new, a parish priest was newly appointed and so for Christmas there was no proper group for carols. The parish priest wanted to have the carols, atleast in a simple way. He called me and my friend Mini, taught us some carol songs in Malayalam( which I wrote in Hindi ). Then we three took baby Jesus and went from one family unit to other giving the message of joy and peace. In one family unit we couldn't reach at the appointed time. When we reached there with our new born King, an elder active parish leader from the family unit poured out in filthy language on us. It came as a great shock to all the people who had gathered there, including us. But, our parish priest didn't utter a word. He gave the christmas message with a smiling face. I and Mini were on the verge of bursting into tears. But we sang carols ( even though with great difficulty ) and greeted everyone. Later on for a few years, when carol singing came, that particular incident made me very sad. But now when I think of it, I cannot help but--burst laughing. Praise God!

[JOYnet] Miracles of the Lord.
Am sharing how the good God touched me during this Christmas season. It was a month back that I got a sore on the side of my small finger on my toe because of shoe pinching. It hardened and started to get painful day by day. I tried my own tricks to ease the pain and had been limping all this month. It was after almost a month that when during mass this Friday that I was praying looking at the Lord in the monstrance and something asked me to pray for the healing of my toe. I did so and came out of the church. Just outside was the counter I was attending to selling church calendars (money going to charity). As I came out another of the volunteers at the counter who also happened to be a male nurse noticed me limping and asked me why. I told him about my toe and he gave me medical advice. Tried the advice and my toe is getting better. This friend and me have been attending to the same counter for more than a month and I had been limping all those days, but it was only on the moment I prayed to the Lord that he asked me why and gave me advice. I thank the good Lord who works in mysterious ways for His love for His servants, for the care He has for His children. Praise the Lord. Another thing that happened this morning was; me and my friend were on the way to church this morning. We got out of the transport bus and it was a five minute walk from the bus stop to church, but we were going to be late as it was almost time for the mass. I just jokingly told my friend, if we had a bicycle we could have made it faster, and just then a car stopped behind us asking us to get in. We made it in time for mass. The love of our Lord is extraordinary, that is concerned about even the little things about His children. Praise and thanks to our loving Father.

Hai folks, It was Christmass eve and it was time to distribute the gifts, which Santa had left for them. This year it was the turn of little Linda to pass on the gifts from under the Christmass Tree (every year its the previledge of a family member). So little Linda was very happy and she went about diatributing the gifts very nicely. After she had finished giving gifts to all in the family, she was still looking all around the Christmas Tree ! Little Lindas father thought that she was looking for her gift and asked her, Linda my child what are you looking for? To which little Linda replier, daddy I thought that christmass is the birthday of Jesus, so I was looking for the gift for him, I think everyone might have forgotten him, the birthday boy.

[JOYnet] A funfilled Christmas carol I had as acollege student
A Carol experience as a College student This morning, I read a wonderful carol experience from Annie from Cochin. Reading that event triggered laughter in me. I think I like to share with you a memorable carol experience I had as a College Student. I lived at Paippad and the Parish I attended was St. Josephs parish at Kunnamthanam. We had a good youth group and I happened to be their leader at that time. We had some people in the parish who didnt like the youth who were very vibrant in the community. Some how a few of them couldnt stand the youth coming together with the parish priest. I think for them it was a kind of fear. At that time girls and boys if ever they were seen talking to one another there was only one meaning and that was they were in love and some of the parents didnt like the idea to have the girls and boys in the same class for even catechetical classes. Since we didnt have any convent in our parish at that time and there was no alternative, I think some of the parents send their children to Catechism. More besi! des the teachers youth, including myself. One year as usual we set out for Christmas carol. Some fifty youth and younger ones, all boys started from the church with a prayer and blessing from our Parish priest. We walked with torches and Petrol-max and some of us had sticks, either to use as an aid to walk or to ward off stray dogs. Walking the terrene with torches and petrol-max was real fun. I remember once I almost burned my hand, handling the petrol-max. From one family to the other at times we had to walk a good distance. No Apartment complex ideas at that time existed in that area. You know we are from Malanadu. I remember one family didn't even bother to light up the star or even to open the door for us. We had no electricity in those areas. Clean village life. In one family as we entered, the dogs came out as though ready to eat some of us and frightened, we sounded the drum all the more louder and the dogs, I think didn't appear for a few days. The house owner was always angry with the youth for caroling. His view was that, instead of wandering around on Christmas Eve, the youth have to stay home and reach the Church on time. (Of course always we made it a point to reach the Parish Church before the midnight Mass. Besides I thi! nk he was also poor in sharing his money, as I remember. He thought that the youth were together to drink and to make mischief and the contrary was the truth. We had no drunks in the group. The profits from the carol were submitted to the parish and that was used to build homes for the poor.) But this wonderful house owner came out screaming. What a shocking message during Christmas time! We were some fifty youth, happy and joyful, singing all the Christmas songs. To cap our joy we were baptized in fire. This man said all the bad words. I didn't say a word. I didn't like anyone to misbehave in the group. As we were leaving the house without singing the carol songs, I noticed the young children who were members of the mission league, so ashamed of their dad's misbehavior. As we left the residence and were off the property, Appachankutty, a classmate of mine sung louder Thannathu sweekarichu Modamode Pokunnitha Njangalwhich made that house owner fur! iously utter all the bad words he has learned. Appachankutty asked me Do you think I have to teach him some new words? What he doesn't know? . We laughed and left that place. We always had laughter about that incident. All the time we friends came together we never forgot Appachankutty, which made us to burst into laughter amidst other funny incidents we went through. I think it is better to laugh because some of those characters are dead and gone by this time. God Bless them too. It is nice to hear from you the Christmas memories you had, like what Annie has shared this morning.

[JOYnet] Solitude is the furnace of transformation
Dear Friends, Solitude is the furnace of transformation. -Henri J. M. Nouwen The Power of Solitude Psalm 4:1-4 1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Be gracious to me and hear my prayer. 2 O sons of men, how long will my honor become a reproach? How long will you love what is worthless and aim at deception? Selah. 3 But know that the LORD has set apart the godly man for Himself; The LORD hears when I call to Him. 4 Tremble, and do not sin; Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Clearly, we live in a loud society. This is not simply a problem in some parts of the world; rather, industrialized society and fast-paced living have filled the worlds airwaves with what can only be described as noise. Some of the noise is useful; for example, a late-breaking news report on all channels that warns of an approaching storm. However, many things that fill our ears are practically pointless. Why is the noise there, and why do we need it? In Celebration of Discipline, Richard Foster speculates, One reason we can hardly bear to remain silent is that it makes us feel so helpless . . . . If we are silent, who will take control? Very often, words are not only our means of communication, they are our means of control. We use words to manipulate our environment, to indelibly set our fingerprints on any given situation. If we dont speak up, then someone else will swoop in and take charge. Sometimes, this is exactly what needs to happen. Foster continues, If we are silent, who will take control? God will take control. Our prayer lives are too often marked by an overabundance of talking, petitioning, and posturing. It is of extreme value to spend time daily talking with the Lord. However, it is also necessary to spend time in utter solitude before Him, allowing Him to speak to you uninterrupted. Take a moment to filter out the noise, and listen for Gods voice.
