What a way to celebrate Christmas riding on a Christmas Bus! Yes, they are rolling here in Sydney, Australia. There are four of them operated by the Hills Bus. We chance upon the The Party Christmas Bus last Sunday afternoon. The other three buses are themed The Australian Christmas Bus, The Winter Wonderland Bus, and the Santa’s Cave Bus. These buses are definitely much better than the atheist buses to be launched in New Zealand! Not a joke.
T’was such a fantastic ride. My four-year-old son was so amazed and can’t control his mouth to say a big “wow!” Definitely, it did put smiles on our faces. We are quite pleased to see smiling faces of people hopping in on various bus stops. What an atmosphere of smiling people! I say the Christmas Bus is one of the cleanest public buses we’ve boarded here in Sydney. It’s top of the class and it’s fully airconditioned. Good smell and absolutely clean. We really enjoyed the ride from the rolling hills and beautiful suburbs of Baulkhams Hills to Parramatta Train Station.
Want to experience riding any of these buses? Visit Hillsbus Christmas Buses for photos, timetables, and route information. Here are some of their customers’ feebacks:
“The Christmas buses are fun, fabulous and joyful, I absolutely loved it!”
“I just wanted to congratulate the individuals who decorated and brought Christmas spirit to this bus. I would like to thank Hillsbus for allowing this bus to be decorated for such a good cause…. This has been one of my best bus ride experiences ever and I thank you all for that.”
“Congratulations to the team that worked on the Xmas buses. I was on board the 711 bus and it looked remarkable! Well done… You did such a wonderful job that I would even sleep on the bus.”
“I love the Christmas Buses it completely brightened up my morning”
Behold, The Party Christmas Bus!
Welcome aboard!

Yes, I am a big fan of country music! Garth Brooks is an amazing country music singer and he dominates my music collections. This Christmas song “Go Tell It on the Mountains” is great for this season of joy, peace and love. It conveys the real meaning of Christmas. Be blessed!
Go Tell it on the Mountain
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
The shepherds all were watching
Over their sheep at night
When a guiding star shone from heaven
And the followed that holy light
Got tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
They found a lovely manger
Where the humble Christ was born
And God sent out salvation
On that blessed Christmas morn
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
He brought with Him forgiveness
He live to show us the way
He came to redeem all creation
And to wash all our sins away
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

On the street I saw a small girl cold and shivering in a thin dress, with little hope of a decent meal. I became angry and said to God; “Why did you permit this? Why don’t you do something about it?” For a while God said nothing. That night he replied, quite suddenly:“I certainly did something about it. I made you.” – Invisible People
Another day, another discovery. What I found is a blog about “invisible people.” Do you know them? Have you seen one? You may say, “How can I see them if they are in fact “invisible”?” What a silly question! “No, sir. No, Madam.” The truth is, you have seen one. They are practically everywhere. They are people with stories to tell. They are people who are as precious as we are. They are people who exist. I’m not referring to a Hollow Man, a 2000 film that features Kevin Bacon in the title role as Sebastian Caine, a scientist who discovers a formula for invisibility. I’m referring to people who have names. Personally, I don’t know their names but this poem will help up to know them.
He Learned Their Names
Now I lay me down to sleep.
My bed will be the cold hard street.
I am not here because of choice.
I’ve lost my face. I’ve lost my voice.
I bow my head, chained down by shame.
Then along came one who learned my name.
He took my hand and helped me up.
He filled my soul when he filled my cup.
He asked me what I’d like to say
To those who’d never looked my way.
He didn’t ask who was to blame,
He just listened, yet I’m not the same.
I’m not invisible any longer.
My struggles, my story, have made me stronger.
I’m a father, a mother, a child, a wife
A husband, a daughter, a son… a life.
A once smoldering ash is now a flame.
All because he learned my name.

As we celebrate Christmas and New Year’s festivities, may we be mindful and compassionate to those who find themselves without a home this Christmas season, and beyond. Contact your local churches for various gift giving ministries serving the homeless or street people. Give to charities looking after the street people. No gift is too small nor to little. Together we can touch and change people lives. Let our lives be a blessing to the invisible people.
“Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.””Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me -Jesus”(Matthew 25:31-46)

God of This City
You’re the God of this City
You’re the King of these people
You’re the Lord of this nation
You are
You’re the Light in this darkness
You’re the Hope to the hopeless
You’re the Peace to the restless
You are
There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God
For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater thing have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here
You’re the Lord of creation
You’re Creator of all things
You’re the King above all kings
You are
You’re the Strength in the weakness
You’re the Love to the broken
You’re the Joy in the sadness
You are
For there is no one like our God
There is no one like you God
For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Glory
And grace for you and love for you in this City
For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here
There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here
