We started our Christmas time with this home concert which was put up spontaneously within two weeks and was great fun for all of us who participated. In our family, Christmas is a time of singing together and there is joy in it. This year I couldn't be part of the Festival Choristers which have their annual presentation in the first week of December, as I was going to be away from Hyderabad, so I thought that before I left, I could have this home concert instead of the big event of singing at the Ravindra Bharati.
Christmas time is one of family gatherings and it was great to be in Chandigarh with family and especially with my eldest sister whom I hadn't seen in five or six years. We had an enjoyable time, inspite of the cold weather and all the highs and lows that happen sometimes! After decades I sang at our old church carol service, along with my eldest sister who had the reputation of being the singer in the family, and meeting old family friends and acquaintances that brought back childhood memories! On Christmas Eve, we got together as a family and had a good round of carol singing!
The highlight of this trip was going to the Indira Colony, a slum at one end of Chandigarh, where we were able to distribute blankets and food packets to women and children and thereafter having fellowship with a dear pastor and his family and some other friends at the Shekinah Children's Home in Manimajra where we sponsor girl children from needy and underprivileged families, in their education and upkeep. It gives us great satisfaction to follow what Christ has said in Matthew 25:40.
