Abantwana bahlala bekulungele ukumangaliswa kobomi!

Ngaba simele ‘silungiselele’ ubomi bethu ‘i-Advent’?  Ngaba senza ixesha kunye nendawo ebomini bethu ukuze “silungiselele” ukuphila ubomi obubhiyozela ummangaliso kunye nobuhle bento ekufuneka ibambe kunye nokomeleza ukholo lwethu, kunye nophuhliso lwethu lobuntu, ukuhlangabezana nemiceli mngeni esizisa ubomi?  Igama lesiLatini elithi “adventus” lithetha “ukuza”!

Ukufika kokholo lobuKristu kuchazwa ngokuthi: “Ukufika lixesha lokulungiselela ukubhiyozelwa kokuzalwa kukaYesu Kristu ngeKrisimesi kunye nokulungiselela ukubuya kwesibini kukaKristu.” Ngokuqhelekileyo kubhiyozelwa ukusuka nge-24 kaNovemba ukuya kwi-24 kaDisemba, kodwa ndiphikisana ukuba akukaze kube semva kwexesha ukuseta kunye nokwenza ngenjongo “yokulungiselela”.

Ndiyakholelwa ukuba lo mbhiyozo we “Advent”, unokuguqulwa “njengomgaqo wobomi”, kubomi bethu bonke.  Onke amandla ngabom okulungiselela ukuza kwesiganeko esitshintsha ubomi bethu, anokuzisa ezona zipho zibalaseleyo.  Inkqubo “yokulungiselela” ngokwayo isisusa kwinkqubo yethu yemihla ngemihla ukuze singene kwindawo yesiko.  Kukho imincili, inzondelelo, kunye nolindelo olufunyenwe kubukho bethu kwaye emva koko lubonakaliswe ngezenzo zethu.  Ndichulumancile kakhulu malunga nokuba amathuba eli xesha “le-Advent” limele ntoni kuthi kunye nento esinokuyithatha ukuphucula amandla, injongo, kunye nomgangatho wobomi bethu.

Xa sijonga emva, kunye nento esijongene nayo kwinqanaba lehlabathi, esi sipho se “Advent”, sisinika ithuba lokuphinda sihlolisise into ebalulekileyo ebomini bethu kunye nendlela esinokuphinda siyile ngayo kungekuphela nje ukuthungwa kobomi bethu, kodwa indlela entsha yokuphila ubomi bethu.  Ngoku sinokubona ngokucacileyo izinto zobomi bethu ebesicinga ukuba asinakuzenza ngaphandle kwaye safumanisa ukuba kufuneka senze ukhetho olwahlukileyo okanye siziqhelanise nokwenza izinto ngokwahlukileyo.  Sasichitha ixesha elininzi kunye neentsapho zethu kumaqamza ethu amancinci.  Sasichitha ixesha elininzi nabantwana bethu.  Mhlawumbi i-FaceTime, usapho lwethu kunye nabahlobo basizise kunxibelelwano oluqhelekileyo kunangaphambili.  Siye sathatha inxaxheba ngakumbi kwikharityhulam yabantwana bethu kunye neendlela zokufundisa.  Usenokucinga ukuba sifunde indlela yokufundisa abantwana bethu.  Sisandul ‘ukufunda ukusinda kwaye ngoku ukuba sicinga ngale “Advent” ngayo, mhlawumbi sinako ukwakha indlela yokuphila eya kusinika indlela esinokuphumelela ngayo.

Ndichulumancile ngokukrola ngeli xesha “lokulungiselela-ukufika”, “indlela entsha yokuphila” ukuze ubomi bam buve busekhaya ngakumbi kunye nam kwaye bundizisele imvakalelo yoxolo kunye nolonwabo nangona isiphithiphithi esinokuthi siqhubeke kum.  Ixesha lokulala lindinike ixesha kunye nendawo yokuphila ngokwahlukileyo, kwaye andifuni ukubuyela kwisiphithiphithi kunye noxinzelelo lwendlela yokuphila endiyisusa ekunandipheni ubomi bam, usapho lwam, abahlobo bam kunye neendawo ezintsha. Ngaba awufuni ukuba uvuyo lobomi luhlaziywe emphefumlweni wakho?  Ngaba awufuni ukuziva unamandla okwenza utshintsho olufunekayo ukuze uzive wonwabile, usempilweni kwaye uphelele?  Singakwenza oku njengabantu ngabanye kunye noluntu oluhlangeneyo lwabantu abaqonda kwaye bamkele imigaqo ye “Advent”.

Masiqalise “ukulungiselela” ukuza kwamava omtsha obomi!
