New Year, New Me

The year of change has just started. farewell 2011, welcome 2012! It could be the start of something new.

I have just began in stepping on to the road of change. Change where I can do better, and road where i can travel to the future that awaits. It's always been good to have a new year's resolution but it's even better if you can make it come true. For me, new year means new life but it doesn't mean that we should forget the things that had happened in the past. Because past is a nice place to visit but certainly not a place to stay.

Forgive and forget. Give and take. Love and be loved. These are what the word change means for me. I have decided to look beyond the imperfections. Live life as it is. Go with the flow, enjoy and be happy. Be contented with what we have right now because the rest are on their way!

A Day To Remember

     Christmas is a significant event in the life of the Church. It brings to mind the birth of our savior Jesus  Christ into the world not only to give us life but to teach us how to use that God-given life meaningfully.

     This episode articulated the tremendous love which god  appropriates for his own people. Likewise,  the birth of our lord Jesus Christ inaugurated anew era in the history of mankind- an epoch where the values of the kingdom reign and the assurance of salvation resonates. It was so loud that it reveberated to all parts of the world trumpeting hope to the helpless,  freedom to those bondage,  and answer to those in deep quagmire of ignorance and confusion.

     Today, as we await again the coming of Christ into our midst as the child,  what have we to offer? Can we think of how we can make his birthday meaningful and worth remembering? Some suggest grandiose festivities while others suggest simple gatherings with pure and clean hearts. Christmas is a day to remember primarily because of its significant place in the life and mission of the Church; that is to give birth to Jesus so that others may come to know and love him.
