Izingane zikulungele ukumangalisa kokuphila!

Kghani kufuze sibe ‘leqiniso’ lethu ‘lokutjhuguluma’?  Ngabe senza isikhathi nendawo ezimpilweni zethu ukuze “sizilungiselele” ukuphila impilo egubha isimangaliso nobuhle balokho ukuphila okufanele sikubambe kanye nokuqinisa ukholo lwethu, kanye nokuthuthukiswa komlingiswa wethu, ukuhlangabezana nezinselelo ezilethwa yimpilo kithi?  I-Advent kusuka egameni lesiLatini elithi “adventus” lisho ukuthi “ukuza”!

Ukufika enkolweni yobuKristu kuchazwa ngokuthi: “Ukufika yisikhathi sokulungiselela ukugubha ukuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu ngoKhisimusi kanye nokulungiselela ukubuya kwesibili kukaKristu.” Imvamisa kugujwa kusukela ngoNovemba 24 kuya kuDisemba 24, kodwa ngiphikisana nokuthi akukaze kwephuze kakhulu ukusetha nokuthatha isinyathelo ngenhloso “yokulungiselela”.

Ngikholwa ukuthi lo mgubho we- “Advent”, ungashintshwa ngokuthi “isimiso sokuphila”, ezimpilweni zethu zonke.  Wonke amandla ngamabomu okulungiselela ukufika komcimbi oshintsha impilo ezimpilweni zethu, angasilethela izipho ezinhle kakhulu.  Inqubo “yokulungiselela” ngokwayo isikhipha esimisweni sethu sansuku zonke ukuze singene esikhaleni samasiko.  Kukhona injabulo, intshisekelo, nokulindela okufakwe ebukhoneni bethu bese kuvezwa ngezenzo zethu.  Ngijabule kakhulu ngalokho amathuba ale nkathi “ye-Advent” amelela kithi nokuthi yini esingayithatha nathi ukuze sithuthukise amandla, inhloso, kanye nekhwalithi yezimpilo zethu.

Uma sibheka emuva, ngalokho esibhekana nakho ezingeni lomhlaba wonke, lesi sipho se- “Advent”, sisinika ithuba lokuhlola kabusha ukuthi yini ebalulekile ezimpilweni zethu nokuthi singakwazi kanjani ukuklama kabusha hhayi kuphela ukuthungwa kwezimpilo zethu, kodwa indlela entsha yokuphila izimpilo zethu.  Manje singabona ngokucacile izakhi zempilo yethu ebesicabanga ukuthi asikwazi ukwenza ngaphandle futhi sathola ukuthi kufanele senze izinqumo ezihlukile noma sizivumelanise nokwenza izinto ngendlela ehlukile.  Sasichitha isikhathi esiningi nemindeni yethu emabhamuza ethu amancane.  Sichitha isikhathi esiningi sisebenza nezingane zethu.  Mhlawumbe i-FaceTime, umndeni wethu nabangane basilethe ekuxhumaneni okujwayelekile kunanini ngaphambili.  Sibe nezandla ezengeziwe ekubandakanyekeni kokuqukethwe kwekharikhulamu yezemfundo yezingane zethu kanye nezindlela zokufundisa.  Ungase uqaphele ukuthi sifunde ukufundisa izingane zethu.  Sisanda kufunda ukusinda futhi manje uma sicabanga lokhu “Ukufika” nge, mhlawumbe singakha indlela yokuphila ezosinika indlela esingachuma ngayo.

Ngijabule ngokuqopha ngalesi sikhathi “sokulungiselela-i-Advent”, “indlela entsha yokuphila” ukuze impilo yami izizwe isekhaya nami futhi ingilethele umuzwa wokuthula nenjabulo naphezu kwezinxushunxushu ezingase zenzeke ezingizungezile.  Isikhathi sokulala singinike isikhathi nendawo yokuphila ngendlela ehlukile, futhi angifuni ukubuyela emuva ekucindezelekeni nasekucindezelekeni kwendlela yokuphila engisusa ekujabuleleni impilo yami, umndeni wami, abangane bami, kanye nama-horizons amasha. Awufuni yini ukuthi injabulo yokuphila ivuselelwe emphefumulweni wakho?  Awufuni yini ukuzizwa unamandla okwenza izinguquko ozidingayo ukuze uzizwe ujabule, unempilo, futhi uphelele?  Singakwenza lokhu njengabantu ngabanye futhi njengomphakathi ohlangene wabantu abaqonda futhi bamukele izimiso ze- “Advent”.

Ake siqale “ukulungiselela” ukuza kokuhlangenwe nakho okusha kwempilo!
