Everlasting light- the journey!

Sunday night, I went the Canadian Martyers Parish with Fr Domenic Qin for a "Music Show"-Enverlasting Light- the journey! In Christmas season, a group of people has got a good trip by the Angel, and they reached each of the places by the Angle, who presented them with a candle. Absolutely, I was enjoying by it.

The PROLOGUE: A Christmas tour at a certain airport to transfer, and they were anxiously patiently waiting in the airport for the flight 939, and they were hoping to check-in early, but an anouncement came out and said their flight is canceled. So, all the group was immeresed in the sound of frustration and dissatisfaction. At this moment, An angel appeared to tell them that Christmas will not be canceled! Fianlly, they took a detour offered by the angel to find their way back home and they just found four candles on the trip. The whole Show is divided into 4 parts which in different places or countries, and in each place there were some affecting things, also the Angel always stringed along with them.

The first stop in CHINA: During the discussion about the places where they'll go, the people have been seeing the fantastic sights and sounds of the orient, there, a simple orphanage filled with chidren, but the children are happy, nobody gets sour and sulky (chinese show). While pondering this view, the travelers got another visit from  the angel, who presented them with a candle.

The second stop in PHILIPPINES: with the Philipino festival dancing began the second stop, but the people noticed the suffering and poverty in the country after the Taifeng as well. So, How did these people find hope and joy?  In front of this view, but still many kind people just have done with what they had, food, money, some stuffs with generosity. Then, the travelers saw what they should do, they received the second candle.

The third stop on STREETS: at this stop, the travelers found themselves in a dark city alley, where an unlikely character told them her history of abuse and condition. With a little help from the angel, they realized it's not just food or material things that fill the person... but the "extra"or "spiritual" stuff. Here, they found their third candle, too.

Final Stop in NORTH AMERICA: in this part, a desperate amn hoping to rob a bank. But something goes wrong! (happened an accident). Would the travelers be able to go home if one of them needs to be left behind? They just were praying to God and hoping some miracle.... Finally, they made the fourth candle, and they all made it back home, and Christmas is a go!

The candles made more meaningful durning the long journey to back home, also reminded the people to prepare the way (with hope, joy, acts of compassion and prayer) for the coming of Jesus Christ!
